NCAAR launched The HeArt of Recovery in 2022 to create a safe space for recovery advocates and people with lived experience to share their stories and perspectives on the evolving addiction recovery landscape.

Hosted by NCAAR Community Coordinator Tonia Ahern, the podcast amplifies the voices of those who often feel voiceless and highlights the power of community‑driven advocacy. Each episode explores the recovery movement through honest, nuanced conversations that address the critical need to confront trauma at both individual and systemic levels, while also examining its root causes within families and communities.
