Matt Conway | Who We Are | TJ Murphy
RecoverYdia is a fiscally sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, a non-profit arts service organization. We are focused on the recovery and mental health field. Our primary goal is to create meaningful human connections through digital media and events. Our purpose is to produce messaging that inspires individuals to connect and interact with their communities in a meaningful way.
We believe that the opposite of addiction, depression, and suicidal ideation is connection, and our philosophy is that a community bound together creates the connections for those who are suffering to achieve their unmet human needs.
Society is suffering from a behavioral health crisis, leading to suicide, addiction, and mental health disorders. These issues are systemic, and at their core is the underlying condition of disconnection. Recovery narratives are proven to have therapeutic value, and our work is intended to awaken people to the importance of rebuilding meaningful connections in their lives.
Our organizational values include:
• Honesty • Integrity • Humility • Rationality • Empathy • Listening • Understanding • Transformation • Self-discipline • Dignity • Self-respect • Servitude • Accountability • Love and Compassion • Authenticity • Credibility •
