Important recovery advocacy tools published by Faces & Voices of Recovery:

The Recovery Revolution: Will it include children, adolescents, and transition age youth?, an important new collaborative article from many experts in the field documenting the need and importance for us to think about unique needs of young people as the recovery revolution is taking hold throughout the world.

Recovery Bill of Rights, a statement of the principle that all Americans have a right to recover from addiction to alcohol and other drugs. It was developed and adopted by Faces & Voices of Recovery's Board of Directors and has been endorsed by a broad alliance of national organizations.

The Recovery Voices Count Campaign, a nonpartisan civic engagement effort to mobilize the recovery community so that our voices can be heard in the local, state and national arenas.

You can use these tools in your local recovery advocacy campaigns as well!

The Recovery Advocacy Toolkit includes media outreach templates, event organizing "how-to" materials and many other resources. The kit is a "living document," we will be updating it with new materials as we develop new campaigns and organizing strategies.

Advocacy with Anonymity

Some members and friends of CTYF participate in outside mutual support groups that include traditions of anonymity. We are not linked with Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, or any specific mutual support groups. For those who would like to understand further about how public advocacy works with anonymity please review the Advocacy with Anonymity publication by Faces & Voices of Recovery.

• Advocacy with Anonymity (English): "You can speak out publicly without compromising the principles of the recovery program in which you participate."
• Entre Nosotros (Espanol):"Usted puede hablar en publico sin infringir los principios de recuperacion de su programa."
