Sober Support at NIVA ‘24: As we quickly approach our annual conference in New Orleans, we at NIVA want to take a moment to express our unwavering support for individuals in recovery. We have partnered with Recovery Unplugged to provide you with wellness resources during the conference, including daily recovery meetings that will take place twice a day at Embassy Suites. The 6pm meeting is a great place to meet with others who want to hit the town and have some sober companions. We encourage everyone, whether you are in recovery yourself, or want to support a colleague, who finds value in these meetings to attend. Please see below for more details on the recovery meeting as well as additional resources.
