International Recovery Day, 30th September

This year the theme is of International Recovery Day is

Leave a light on

This year, the Recovery Academy of Ireland have teamed up with the International Recovery Day 2020 Committee to shine a light on recovery by lighting up buildings around the country in purple, the colour that which traditionally represents recovery.

The Recovery Academy of Ireland ask that

“people in recovery, addiction recovery services, family and friends come out and support the event by walking from the different buildings that will be lit up on the night, sharing your pictures and showing your support for this event. #leavealighton”
