Welcome to King County Recovery Conversations, a podcast on a mission to celebrate recovery and help break the stigma of addiction and mental health. I’m your host, Heather Venegas. In each episode, policy and program experts, as well as people with lived experience will join me as we share stories of hope, resilience, and healing in our community. Together, we’ll learn about the various pathways to recovery – and the services and support systems that are available to anyone impacted by addiction and mental health. Whether you're someone in or seeking recovery, a family member or friend, or a healthcare professional, this podcast is for you. Tune in on July 24 for our first episode.
