Catherine is the founder of the Recovery Community Foundation of Forsyth County (RCFF) and The Connection, an addition recovery support center. Learn more about how these grassroots organizations called Recovery Community Organizations or RCOs (there are 16 RCOs in Georgia, supported through state funding and a number of other independent organizations) are helping fuel recovery in their respective communities.To learn more about The Connection: www.theconnectionforsyth.orgTo learn more about Rena Olsen, the host of the Relevate Podcast: www.rena-olsen.comP.S. A note from Rena...It has been a tough week for those of us who love people in recovery in the north metro Atlanta area, as we lost yet another one of our young men to overdose. This one hurts my heart deeply because he was an exceptional person from a beautiful and loving family. In recording the closing for this episode, I wept big tears for my young friend and his family. I almost re-recorded it, but then again decided to keep it exactly as it is...Raw, emotional, difficult to hear. It's time we all let down our guards and started standing up and fighting for those who struggle...and their families.
