We spoke with Margaux Hyde, Chief Communications Officer for the Root Center for Advanced Recovery, about their work and upcoming events. The Root Center, founded in 1871, offers mental health and addiction services across Connecticut with 14 sites.
They highlight International Overdose Awareness Day on August 31, which includes a burning ceremony, community health services, and a garden planting. The center also provides quick access to mental health services and aims to change perceptions by modernizing their facilities.
