Helen Taws, former supervisor of the Simmons Unit at the Women's Recovery Center, is the new director of Hazelden's Center for Public Advocacy. Taws is part of a team led by the Center's executive director, William Cope Moyers, that will focus on expanding the public's understanding of addiction and recovery and influencing public policy. Taws earned a master of arts degree in addiction counseling in 2003 from the Hazelden Graduate School of Addiction Studies.
The Center for Public Advocacy was busy in July helping to mobilize support for the mental health and addiction treatment parity bill in Congress. It joined with groups like Faces and Voices for Recovery to generate grassroots support for the legislation. The Center also helped restore Hazelden's presence at the Minnesota State Fair, held Aug. 21-Sept. 1 in St. Paul. After a two-year absence, a Hazelden booth at the Fair was re-established so that Hazelden could reach out to thousands of Fairgoers. The Center will also participate in Recovery Month in September.
