Westmoreland County is taking active steps to support residents during National Recovery Month.

Throughout September, the community recognizes the courage of those striving toward recovery from substance use and mental health challenges.

The journey to recovery brings a mixture of hope, determination, and at times, setbacks.

Local organizations play an essential role, providing direct recovery resources and heartfelt support to those in need.

Groups like Sage’s Army and Lost Dreams Awakening remain dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate difficult moments.

Officials are emphasizing greater access to mental health support as part of a county-wide effort to remove stigma and connect residents to vital services.

This year, new outreach campaigns and community events are further raising awareness in neighborhoods from Greensburg to New Kensington.

Residents have noticed a growing spirit of solidarity, with local businesses, schools, and churches joining the conversation.
