SUD Voices for Change launched this week to make sure people with lived experience of substance use help shape California’s SUD policy from the start, not as an afterthought.

Too many decisions about substance use get made without the people living it.
This November, SUD Voices for Change is bringing three town halls to California. Come say what is working, what is not, and what needs to change.
If you use substances, are in recovery, care for someone who is, or your community has been touched by any of it, this is your room.
Thursday, Nov 12 · Indio
Friday, Nov 13 · San Francisco
Thursday, Nov 19 · Online
Breakfast and lunch provided. One focus group runs in Spanish. Everyone who takes part receives a gift card for their time.
Space is limited. Register Here: sudvoices.org/get-involved/e…

Your voice belongs in the room where decisions get made. 💜
SUD Voices for Change is recruiting for our Consumer Advisory Group: people in recovery, people who currently use substances, families, peer support workers, harm reduction advocates, and communities affected by SUD.
Monthly virtual meetings, real influence on our priorities, and chances to advocate at the State Capitol.

Recovery doesn't happen in isolation. It grows when people can reach wellness resources, mental health care, and support from others who've been there.
With the right access, people build vibrant lives worth protecting, one day at a time.
When people in recovery share their stories with employers, faith communities, policymakers, and neighbors, they help build recovery-ready communities for everyone.

California's SUD treatment workforce carries a lot. On October 28, CAADPE and SUD Voices for Change are giving them a day built for their growth.
Four courses at CRI-Help in North Hollywood, 9am to 3pm:

Counselor credentialing and the lived path to certification Culturally responsive care and treatment in a client's primary language MAT access from the clinic to the community Moral distress and moral injury in a sustainable workforce .
Every recovery story has the power to change minds and save lives. When people share their experiences, they help reduce stigma and show what real recovery looks like.

Too often the conversation about substance use disorder happens without the people who have lived it. Their stories get flattened into statistics or replaced by stereotypes that keep others from asking for help.
You already know what the system cant get wrong. You lived it.
The Consumer Advisory Group is a real seat at the table, not a story someone asks you to tell once and then forgets.
No cost. No commitment to start. Just apply: sudvoices.org/get-involved/l…
