National Recovery Month is celebrated every September across the U.S. and is a time to uplift every member of the recovery community. Since 2017, BHSB has hosted Recovery Month community events that uplift harm reduction and recovery practices, Baltimore’s recovery community, and the service providers and communities who support all forms of recovery

Come on out and celebrate with us.

2024 – Your Community, Our Community: Healing Together

In song, word and dance, Behavioral Health System Baltimore (BHSB), City of Refuge Baltimore, the Brooklyn community, providers and volunteers came together to celebrate recovery and healing at BHSB’s 8th annual Recovery Day event.

Under the theme, “Your Community, Our Community, Healing Together,” we remembered the lives of those we have lost, renewed our commitment to healing together and celebrated the power of recovery. Speaking to the audience, BHSB executive director Crista Taylor reminded us that everyone’s journey to recovery is different and should be celebrated without stigma or blame.

Our hosts, Kish the Lioness and Eric, kept the energy flowing in English and Spanish, with music from DJ FoQus. Raven got the audience moving with Zumba, while TayyBandz and Bmore Than Dance brought the Baltimore sounds and moves to the stage.

Thank you to the Brooklyn community and City of Refuge for hosting us and to the performers, providers and volunteers for helping to make this event a success.
