Empowering Lives: The Council on Recovery’s 2023 Fall Luncheon
October 13, 2023I am excited to share my recent experience collaborating with The Council on Recovery, a remarkable non-profit organization in Houston, Texas. The Council on Recovery is a subsidiary of The United Way, dedicated to providing crucial recovery services for individuals and families grappling with addiction, substance use disorders, and mental health issues in the heart of Houston. In the past year alone, they have touched the lives of over 32,000 individuals, offering 88% of their services at reduced or no cost, making a profound impact on the community.
Today, on October 13th, The Council is hosting its 2023 Fall Luncheon, a momentous event that brings together supporters, advocates, and individuals passionate about addiction recovery in Houston, while raising money and support for this amazing organization. This year’s event features none other than the renowned comedian and host of “The Late Late Show,” Craig Ferguson, as the keynote speaker.
I was honored to be given the opportunity to create the featured video for this event, showcasing the remarkable work of The Council and their relentless commitment to helping those battling addiction and mental health issues in the heart of Houston.
The Impact of The Council on Recovery in Houston
The Council on Recovery’s tireless dedication to providing addiction recovery services in Houston is unparalleled. The services they offer not only help individuals find their path to recovery but also provide much-needed support to their families and communities.
My Role on the Video
My work as a video editor on the project was an opportunity to showcase the impact of The Council on Recovery’s life-changing work right here in Houston. I was responsible for the edit, narrative, color grade, and audio mix of the final product. I aimed to create a visual journey that highlighted the personal stories of former clients, all of whom would later become Peer Support Counselors themselves to continue helping others.
Keynote Speaker: Craig Ferguson
Having Craig Ferguson as this year’s keynote speaker is a testament to the recognition that The Council on Recovery has garnered for their invaluable work here in Houston. Mr. Ferguson’s own journey through addiction and recovery resonates with the mission of The Council, making him a perfect fit for this event.
