Gary Miller Joins VAMHAR Board of Directors

We are pleased to announce that Writers for Recovery Co-Founder and Creative Director Gary Miller has accepted a seat on the board of directors for the Vermont Association for Mental Health and Addiction Recovery (VAMHAR). A statewide information and advocacy organization, VAMHAR supports all paths to recovery from addiction and mental health conditions. Since 1939, the organization has worked to promote mental wellness in Vermont, and to be the state’s voice in education, training, and community support.

Current VAMHAR programs include the Recovery Coach Academy; Camp Daybreak for kids 8-11 with a range of social, emotional, and behavioral needs; and VTARR, the Vermont Association of Recovery Residences. In addition, VAMHAR operates the Vermont Alcohol and Drug Information Clearinghouse (VADIC), which provides reliable information about substance use disorder and recovery.

“I’m honored by the invitation to join the VAMHAR team,” says Gary. “In 2018, I participated in the Recovery Coach Academy, and it was an incredible professional experience. The VAMHAR staff is amazing, and they’re making a real difference for people all over Vermont." Stay tuned for more news about VAMHAR.
