Statewide Partnership
One State. Many Journeys. One Recovery Ecosystem.
Recovery happens in communities. Florida’s Statewide Recovery Community Organization (SRCO) initiative connects and supports the people and organizations building recovery supports
across our state.
Led by South Florida Wellness Network, Inc. in collaboration with Floridians for Recovery, this initiative provides training, technical assistance, and opportunities to connect. We center the
voices of people with lived experience while working alongside recovery community organizations (RCOs), peer professionals, Managing Entities, providers, and community partners.
WHAT IS THE STATEWIDE RCO INITIATIVE?
The statewide initiative helps strengthen Florida’s recovery ecosystem by listening to local communities, identifying needs, and connecting people with practical support. We work with
established and emerging RCOs while building relationships with the partners who can help recovery supports grow and remain sustainable.
Our role is to bring people together, share knowledge and resources, and support communities as they develop recovery services shaped by lived experience.
