Removing the Mask
Addiction, and even recovery from it, are highly stigmatized in our society. Those caught in the endless cycle of addiction often live in isolation and will not confide in anyone about their struggles, fears, hopelessness and desperation. That’s why our theme for Art of Recovery 2020 is “Removing the Mask”. Because when people in addiction and recovery courageously remove their mask of shame, the strength and hope shared through their experiences transform lives. And it is in this space that true freedom is found.
To help remove the stigma of addiction and recovery, we are inviting artists who have been impacted by addiction to take part in ‘Removing the Mask’ by sharing their stories with the community. Help Healing Transitions create a space where important conversations about addiction and recovery can happen. Together, with the power of art, we can Remove the Mask and break the stigma associated with the disease!
