Recovery is a journey, not a destination. And like any meaningful journey, we need ways to understand where we’re thriving, where we’re stretching, and where we need additional support. When individuals, organizations, and policymakers take time to truly measure strengths and gaps, they build recovery systems that are more responsive, more sustainable, and more human-centered.

The real power of measuring recovery and resilience capital comes from putting those insights to work in meaningful, practical ways that strengthen long-term recovery. Whether you’re walking your own path, leading a program, or shaping policy, there are concrete steps each of us can take to build stronger Recovery and Resilience Capital at every level.

Too often, organizations make the mistake of simply purchasing devices or software without considering the human element. The real magic happens when technology is paired with comprehensive training and ongoing support. This is especially true in recovery settings, where staff and residents may have varying levels of digital literacy.
