Choice Recovery Movement: Request Support

We are on a mission to reimagine alcohol and trauma recovery to be evidence-based, autonomy-centered, and stigma-aware. We support individuals through education, recovery planning, and non-clinical implementation support—helping people build informed, self-directed recovery pathways aligned with their values and real-world needs.

Crystal Fedeli: Speaking and Training Request
 

Crystal speaks to professional audiences, organizations, and institutions on how systems operate in practice—and where institutional norms diverge from evidence, autonomy, and lived reality. Her talks examine real-world decision-making failures and explore evidence-aligned, autonomy-preserving approaches to recovery, family court, and social service systems.
