 As an Expert Panel member in long-term recovery herself, Robinson wants to ensure the voice of recovery is represented, heard, and empowered. “I’m so grateful I was able to access recovery over 15 years ago and have made it my life’s mission to create that opportunity for others seeking support for their substance use disorders. … I know we can create innovative solutions to this crisis and look forward to being part of the solution.”
