Help Us Find Our New Name

Some months back, we sent out a survey asking for your input on whether or not we should change our name. There are several reasons for this consideration. They include (but are not limited to):
 
  • Many people are confused by 'recovery' in our name, and think we must be focused primarily on problems with substance use
  • Many of us have very mixed feelings about the word 'recovery', including the idea that there is anything we necessarily want to 'recover'
  • People frequently mix up 'community' and 'center' and end up calling us the 'Recovery Learning Center'
 
Through the survey, as well as conversations with the team and beyond, we've discovered that the majority of us believe we SHOULD change our name.
 
So, we've set a date: January 1, 2019.
 
By January 1, 2019, we plan to have come up with and announced a new name!!

First, though, we're looking for your help again. Please fill out this quick survey and help us think up some ideas for what our new name will be!

P.S. We are leaning *AWAY* from the idea of keeping the 'RLC' acronym, even with different  words, so particularly appreciate ideas that move away from those three letters together!

Question Title

* 1. Take a look at our logo (the boot with flowers pictured at the top of this survey). The logo was designed to represent the wear and tear, bumps and bruises that come from walking down the path of life (boot) while also representing the beauty and growth that comes from all that (flowers). But, hat does that logo mean to you? What words or qualities come to mind?

Question Title

* 2. Thinking about what you know of the RLC, what values and qualities come to mind overall?

Question Title

* 3. Do you have any specific ideas for a new name?

Question Title

* 4. Any other thoughts?
