Participants will review poverty research, examine a theory of change, and analyze poverty through the prism of the hidden rules of class, resources, and language. Join this book study to better understand how the environment of poverty creates barriers for your clients and how your organization can work shoulder to shoulder with those living in daily instability to provide different solutions to create more stability for your clients, organizations, and communities.

The Anonymous People is a feature documentary film about the over 23 million Americans living in long-term recovery from addiction to alcohol and other drugs.

Deeply entrenched social stigma and discrimination have kept recovery voices silent and faces hidden for decades. The vacuum created by this silence has been filled by sensational mass media depictions of people in active addiction that continue to perpetuate a lurid public fascination with the dysfunctional side of what is a preventable and treatable health condition. Just like women with breast cancer, or people with HIV/AIDS, courageous addiction recovery advocates are starting to come out of the shadows to tell their true stories. The moving story of The Anonymous People is told through the faces and voices of the leaders, volunteers, corporate executives, and celebrities who are laying it all on the line to save the lives of others just like them. This passionate new public recovery movement is fueling a changing conversation that aims to transform public opinion, and finally shift problematic policy toward lasting recovery solutions.

Join Recover Alaska, the Fairbanks Opioid Workgroup, Interior AIDS Association and Fairbanks Native Association for a public screening of this important film followed by a panel discussion.

The Recovery Walk & Run 5K is a community event to raise awareness about addiction and to create a positive experience for all participants.

Our message is that recovery is possible and people do get better. Although addiction is a chronic condition, it is treatable. There is significant stigma regarding addiction, so the Recovery Walk and Run 5K hopes to change that perception and offer hope.

This event also serves as a fundraising opportunity to help our community. This year's proceeds will be split between Interior AIDS Association's medication-assisted treatment program and Fairbanks Wellness Court.
