Fifty years ago, Operation Understanding helped bring recovery out of the shadows and into public view.

This year, we've carried that legacy forward — connecting people, challenging stigma, taking action, and showing what recovery looks like in communities across the country.

On December 9, we bring it all together.

NEW EPISODE 🎙️ Understanding Mobilize Recovery: Conversations with Jaclyn Brown Episode 14 with Randy Anderson. youtu.be/xaHOdrH3W04?si…

“You have to find your people... that want to see the same change you want.”

Randy Anderson has been in recovery since January 9, 2005, after addiction led to an 87-month prison sentence as a first-time, nonviolent drug user. He came out and went to work: becoming an addiction counselor at Eden House, where his own recovery began, and testifying for Minnesota drug sentencing reform that now keeps an estimated 700 people a year out of prison and connected to treatment. He’s also helped get about 100,000 naloxone doses into all 87 Minnesota counties and founded Bold North Recovery.

His reminder for anyone who wants to get involved? Advocacy can be as simple as emailing your elected official, or even writing a handwritten letter. “If you do that today, people are blown away.”

NEW EPISODE 🎙️ Understanding Mobilize Recovery: Conversations with Jaclyn Brown Episode 13 with Robyn Hantelman. youtu.be/9q_FhKYSt_E?si…

What happens when recovery support shows up right alongside the ambulance? Robyn Hantelman knows. She’s the Recovery Coordinator at the Richmond Ambulance Authority, where she’s bringing recovery into front-line crisis response through programs like First Responders for Recovery and naloxone distribution on Save a Life Day.

Robyn is a recovery champion and educator who’s all about breaking down the silos that keep people and professions apart, whether that’s across geography or across the continuum of care. She sits on the Steering Committee for the Richmond Opioid Task Force and the Advisory Council for the national Association for Peer Support, and wherever she goes, she’s focused on the same things: taking care of the workforce, lifting up peer leaders, and making sure every person gets treated with compassion and dignity at every step.

Jaclyn and Robyn get into all of it. Want to dig deeper into Robyn’s work?
