Published on September 10, 2019

You’re invited to witness how “Recovery Happens” on Saturday, Sept. 21, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 123 Recreation Drive in Auburn.

This annual event celebrates substance use and mental health recovery, highlighting the success of local community members. Resources about treatment and recovery programs will be available.

In addition to informational booths, the event will also include a barbecue, music, games, prizes and more family-friendly activities.

“This event is a good opportunity to share resources and build networks across the county to support recovery,” said Amy Ellis, director of the county’s Adult System of Care. “We are all part of the solution.”

The event is sponsored by Placer County Health and Human Services; Mental Health, Alcohol and Drug Advisory Board members; and numerous other community partners. View a flier.
