BISMARCK, ND (KFYR) – North Dakota First Lady Kathryn Burgum spoke about her recovery journey at the eighth annual Recovery Reinvented Convention in Bismarck.

Kathryn stressed the importance of breaking the stigma around substance abuse disorders and said that as people become more comfortable talking about these issues, the more likely they are to get help.

“Recovery Reinvented has changed lives and I know this because many people have told me. Now they’re sharing publicly about their struggles with addiction or their recovery because of what we’ve tried to do here,” Burgum said.

The conference was attended by representatives of organizations from across the country. You can find more information about the event at recovery reinvented.com.
