Building Futures

On June 24, Building Futures hosted 17 RI Building Trades members for our first Recovery Peer Network gathering. The event brought together tradespeople in recovery for an All Recovery Meeting, a workshop on telling your recovery story, and, most importantly, the chance to build connections with others who understand the journey. Recovery is strengthened through community, and this was a powerful first step in creating a network of support across Rhode Island's construction industry.

This is more than just a meeting - it's a growing movement to remind every tradesperson that recovery is possible and that no one has to do it alone. Join us for our next Recovery Peer Network gathering on Wednesday, August 19 @ 5:00 PM. Sign up here: https://loom.ly/XLXQrUM

Whether you're newly in recovery or have decades of sobriety, tradespeople with all lengths of recovery are welcome. Connect, share, listen, and help build a stronger recovery community in the trades. We hope to see you there!
