BHRT was excited to present at the ODCP Symposium on Addiction and Recovery in Harford County! 🎤

Our presentation, Prevention Advocacy in Action: Building a Proactive Public Health Movement, explored the importance of substance use prevention advocacy, shared early findings from our Community Survey on Substance Use Prevention, and discussed how community perspectives can help inform future prevention advocacy efforts. We also highlighted strategies for building a stronger prevention movement through effective messaging, storytelling, and community engagement.

Thank you to ODCP for the opportunity to connect, share, and continue the conversation around strengthening substance use prevention across Maryland!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

This month, we recognize those who have been impacted by breast cancer, honor survivors, remember those we have lost, and support those currently navigating diagnosis and treatment.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month is also an important reminder of the value of education, early detection, and access to screening and care. Take time this month to learn about breast cancer risk factors, know what’s normal for your body, and talk with your healthcare provider about screening recommendations that are right for you.

Together, we can continue raising awareness and supporting healthier communities. 💗
