Educate Congress on RCSP
Published May 28, 2008
President Bush’s budget for 2009 proposes cutting funding for Recovery Community Services Programs (RCSP) nationally. These cutbacks could jeopardize The Council’s peer-to-peer recovery support programming, including all three Recovery Community Centers in Bucks County and Philadelphia, and recovery support services throughout the five-county area in Southeastern Pennsylvania.
Recovery Support Services include peer-to-peer coaching, mentoring, and educational and skill training. Monetary support received by organizations such as PRO-ACT enables peers in a stable recovery to help others avoid relapse and move to long term recovery. These programs also encourage and provide alcohol-free and other drug-free social programs to support re-engagement into society. Organizations like PRO-ACT are a link to support the needs of a person recovering from the disease of addiction.
What You Can Do
Educate Members of Congress. It’s critical that your member of Congress know about the RCSP program, how important it is in your community, and how effective your program is. If your Senators or Representatives are members of the Appropriations Committee, taking time to educate your elected officials is particularly important. Use the links below to find the contact information and committee affiliations of your legislators. The restoration of funding to these programs will make a real difference in families and communities across the country and within your congressional district.
