Strategic Plan
Guiding Our Future with Connection, Equity, and Vision
At Minnesota Recovery Connection (MRC), our strategy grows from the same foundation as our mission—connection, compassion, and collaboration. As the first and oldest Recovery Community Organization in Minnesota, we continue to evolve to meet the changing needs of the recovery landscape.
Right now, we are actively engaged in a new strategic planning process that will guide MRC’s next chapter. This planning brings together voices from across our community—people with lived experience, recovery allies, partners, staff, and supporters—to shape a shared vision for the future of recovery in Minnesota.
Our goal is to create a plan that is inclusive, relational, and forward-thinking—one that strengthens our capacity to serve, deepens partnerships, and continues to make ongoing recovery a more accessible experience for all.
Our Strategic Focus
MRC’s strategy centers around three core areas that define how we advance recovery across Minnesota:
- Empowering People Through Peer Support
We expand access to peer-to-peer services that bridge the gaps between treatment and community, ensuring that recovery support is sustained, equitable, and culturally responsive. - Strengthening Systems and Partnerships
We collaborate with organizations, counties, correctional systems, and healthcare partners to integrate recovery principles and practices that create better outcomes and more connected care. - Advocating for Equity and Inclusion
We elevate diverse voices, confront stigma, and advocate for policies that make recovery possible—and visible—for everyone, regardless of their background, identity, or pathway.
Looking Ahead
Our strategic planning process is helping us envision what recovery in Minnesota can look like in the years to come: a statewide network of support built on trust, inclusion, and lived experience.
As we finalize this next phase, we remain committed to transparency and community input. The future of MRC will be guided by the people we serve—because lasting change happens when those with lived experience lead the way.
We invite you to stay connected as we continue this process and share updates on our goals, strategies, and milestones in the months ahead.
Together, we’re shaping a future where you don’t just recover, you thrive.
