Every September since 1992, California Consortium of Addiction Premises and Professionals (CCAPP) has sponsored the “Recovery Happens” event at the State Capitol in recognition of National Recovery Month and to increase awareness and understanding of mental health and substance use disorders and to celebrate the people who recover. For more than ten years, CSTL has been honored to be chosen to host a Pancake Breakfast for all Recovery Happens participants and other community members, including the local homeless population and others on their way to/from work in the area around the State Capitol. We provide a complimentary breakfast of pancakes and sausage, coffee, and juice to anyone who wants one. We also provide a seating area for them to sit and enjoy the meal and the festive atmosphere of the “Recovery Happens” event. For many of CSTL’s long-term residents, this is one of our favorite events of the year, because it allows us to give back to the Sacramento recovery community and to the residents and workers of downtown and because it is always fun and makes us proud to represent CSTL.
