Create awareness and acceptance of the recovery community through de-stigmatization and by increasing visibility while creating and maintaining a sustainable volunteer model.

About

The Baltimore Recovery Corps (BRC) was launched in spring 2011, as part of Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake’s StepUp Baltimore volunteer initiative. The Recovery Corps program is designed to provide men and women in recovery from substance abuse with opportunities to “give back” through volunteering to serve as peer-recovery support advocates. The Baltimore Recovery Corps (BRC) is a peer- based coaching and advocacy recovery support service that is non-clinical.

Project Overview

Create awareness and acceptance of the recovery community through de-stigmatization and by increasing visibility while creating and maintaining a sustainable volunteer model.

The campaign, Not One But Many, shows recovery as a movement, made up of strong interconnected individuals. It shows that although recovery is a personal journey, it’s a journey which doesn’t happen alone. It not only gives a face to recovery; but it gives many different faces. Not One But Many also focuses on the different qualities of every person. Someone in recovery is not looked upon as just a former addict, Not One But Many sheds light on all aspects of an individuals personality. It offers many unique perspectives, and shows that even though we all may recover differently, we’re all recovering together.
