ABOUT WASHINGTON SPEAKS

A new collaborative sharing recovery stories

WA SPEAKS (Statewide Peer Engagement and Advocacy Keynote Speakers) is a collaborative dedicated to sharing recovery stories. We are a cadre of speakers that want to share our hope and resilience with the community in an attempt to shatter the stigma surrounding behavioral health stressors and spread the word that people can and do recover.

We offer trainings to practice sharing our message with others, and we provide additional opportunities for seasoned speakers that want to hone their message and/or broaden their reach. After completing a WA SPEAKS training we will provide you with a certificate of completion and support you in finding and/or a sharing your message. After your speaking engagement is complete we will also offer you a stipend for lending your experience and hope to our community.

"It is a safe space and Abbey has created a space where she is an example of genuine, natural, communication and she is super relatable."
