Abstract
Substance use disorder remains a pervasive public health challenge in Vermont, where access to recovery resources and stigma surrounding addiction continue to impede care. This project, Roadmap to Recovery, aimed to improve community awareness and accessibility of local recovery services through the development and distribution of an educational brochure. Designed with input from a mental health clinician and a recovery outreach worker, the brochure compiled state and regional resources while framing addiction as a medical condition rather than a moral failing. The intervention sought to empower individuals, families, and service providers with clear, compassionate information to facilitate connection to support. Feedback from community partners highlighted the value of destigmatizing language and accessible design. Future directions include formal evaluation of the brochure’s impact and expansion of outreach materials to additional Vermont communities.
