Recovery Advocacy Day (RAD)
Each year, we come together to advocate for pro-recovery policy in our state capital. Join the WRA and the recovery community to elevate and unify our powerful voices in support of recovery in Washington. RAD is a great opportunity for our community to build connections with one another and make our voices heard by meeting directly with state lawmakers to ask for their votes on key behavioral health legislation. Help us show our state lawmakers that through better policy, we absolutely can make recovery a reality for all!
RAD 2025 was on February 6th. Stay tuned for RAD 2026 info.
King County Behavioral Health Legislative Forum
The King County Recovery Coalition is a proud co-sponsor of the King County Behavioral Health Legislative Forum, where community members, legislators, and county leaders come together to share stories, set priorities, and shape the future of behavioral health in our region. Before the Forum, the Washington Recovery Alliance and KCRC will host Recovery in Action, a community pre-event designed to build momentum for the evening’s conversations. The pre-event features community booths, food, giveaways, and opportunities to connect with others in the recovery community. The Forum begins at 6:00 PM, with doors opening at 5:30 PM. Both events are free and open to the public.

Elevate Recovery Voices Trainings
Recovery Advocacy Training is the Washington Recovery Alliance’s signature public policy and media engagement program. It’s more than a training—it’s the foundation of a statewide movement to build power through storytelling, policy engagement, and community action. Over the past two years, WRA has trained more than 500 Washingtonians impacted by mental health and substance use challenges.
​
The WRA and King County Recovery Coalition are partnering to host a virtual training on Wednesday, December 10, 2025, from 12:00 PM to 2:30 PM. This free session gives participants the opportunity to build skills in sharing their recovery stories with lawmakers, engaging in the legislative process, and supporting pro-recovery policy and media efforts. The training is interactive, offered at no cost, and held on Zoom, with materials provided in advance.

Recovery Day at the Mariners
We DO recover – and there’s no better way to show up loud, proud, and visible than by rallying together and marching to T-Mobile Park for a day of baseball, sunshine, and community.
​
Recovery Day at the Mariners is a celebration of mental health wellness and substance use recovery, bringing together thousands of people who are living their recovery journey. Each year, we gather for a recovery rally and march before heading into the stadium, filling the stands with connection, pride, and joy.
​
Inside the park, our Recovery in Action area offered meaningful ways for attendees to participate, including writing cards with messages of hope to people in inpatient treatment, sharing personal stories, and taking photos with signs celebrating recovery , even with the Mariner Moose. The event is family-friendly, welcoming for all ages, and our section within the park remains substance-free, creating a safe and joyful space for everyone.

Stay tuned for details on the next Recovery Day at the Mariners.
