About the Summit

Recovery is about more than changing a behavior. It's about understanding ourselves, healing what needs attention, building meaningful connections, and creating a life that supports lasting change.

The Empowered Recovery Summit is a virtual gathering dedicated to exploring the many dimensions of recovery, mental health, and personal transformation.

Through education, lived experience, and practical strategies, we want to create conversations that help people move forward with greater understanding, confidence, and hope.

Our mission is to bring together diverse voices who share a commitment to helping people heal, grow, and thrive.

Who We're Looking For

Recovery & Mental Health Professionals

Counselors, therapists, psychologists, recovery coaches, and other professionals who support people navigating addiction, mental health challenges, and behavior change.

People With Lived Experience

Individuals who have navigated recovery or significant personal transformation and have meaningful insights to share.

Educators, Advocates & Thought Leaders

Authors, researchers, wellness professionals, and advocates whose work contributes to emotional well-being, healing, and personal growth.

We welcome speakers who combine professional knowledge, practical tools, and authentic experiences to create presentations that resonate with our audience.

Suggested Presentation Topics

We're interested in presentations that offer practical insights and meaningful takeaways. Topics may include:

What to Expect as a Speaker

Present Prerecorded

Speakers may submit a prerecorded presentation that our team will play during the event.

30–45 Minute Presentations

Each speaker will have approximately 30–45 minutes to share their expertise, experiences, and practical takeaways. Speakers are also welcome to introduce their work, business, programs, services, books, or other relevant offerings and provide attendees with a clear way to connect with them after the presentation.

Speaker Promotion

Selected speakers are expected to actively promote the Empowered Recovery Summit to their community through their email list, social media platforms, website, or other relevant channels.

To make promotion easy, the Empowered Recovery team will provide approved graphics, event details, registration links, and promotional materials for speakers to share.

Podcast Invitation

Selected speakers may also be invited to join Prairie Francia on the Breaking Free From Within podcast for a deeper conversation about their story, expertise, work, and message. This provides an additional opportunity to share your voice, introduce your work to a new audience, and continue the conversation beyond the summit.

Professional Connections

Connect with fellow speakers and professionals who share your passion for recovery, mental health, and helping others.
