Unified Advocacy to Drive Lasting Recovery Change
Seed Sower is proud to support RE-PATH, a movement designed to amplify voices, strengthen communities, and help transform how our state supports long-term recovery.
What is RE-PATH
RE-PATH is a movement which is led by people in recovery, for people in recovery. It is designed to amplify voices, strengthen communities, and help transform how our state supports long-term recovery. This is a statewide coalition focused on policy, systems change, and stigma reduction.
Why it Matters
Many individuals fall through the gaps between treatment, housing, employment, and long-term recovery support. RE-PATH works to bring lived experience into policy conversations. And collaboration helps reduce silos across the recovery systems.
RE-PATH Vision
A West Virginia where every person in recovery is valued, supported, and empowered to thrive.
Maximizing Resources
Bridging the gap between need and access by aligning community, private, and public sector resources to serve individuals in recovery efficiency and equitably.
Advocacy and Voice
Advancing policies and public awareness that prioritize recovery, protect individual rights, and amplify the lived experience of those on the recovery journey
Community Integration
Cultivating inclusive environments that embrace people in recovery, their families, and allies as active, contributing members of their communities.
Recovery Leadership
Developing and supporting leaders in recovery, their families, and allies to shape the future of behavioral health and social justice in West Virginia.
Stigma Reductions
Reframing addiction and recovery through education, storytelling, and engagement to eliminate shame and silence.
System Transformation
Collaborating with providers, peers, families, allies, and policymakers to build a seamless continuum of care that is recovery-oriented, trauma informed, and person-centered.
