The Art of Recovery
Once again, as part of National Treatment Court Month, we will host an art contest for treatment court participants and alumni! Art is a powerful tool for conveying the emotions and ideas related to recovery that may be difficult to verbalize. Submissions will be displayed in a special gallery at RISE23 in Houston, Texas and online at AllRise.org.
Stay tuned for the 2023 submission form!
