HHS Announces Recovery Innovation Challenge

On May 18, HHS announced its first-ever behavioral health Recovery Innovation Challenge. The goal of this challenge is to identify innovations developed by peer-run or community-based organizations that advance and promote recovery. HHS asks participants to share information on the practices they use to advance recovery and demonstrate how their techniques build on SAMHSA’s recovery guidelines. Additionally, participants are asked to share how they have helped people overcome challenges by incorporating recovery into their behavioral health services system. Enter the challenge by submitting a written statement no later than July 15 for the chance to win a cash prize. For more information here.
