Charlotte Wethington

Jay Davidson Award

Charlotte Wethington became a recovery advocate following the 2002 overdose death of her son, Casey. Her second retirement was in 2015 after serving 10 years as Recovery Advocate for Transitions, Inc., an agency providing treatment and related services for families with substance use disorders. She now serves part-time as a recovery advocate for Addiction Recovery Care.

As Casey's mom, she initiated a Kentucky state law known as "Casey's Law", (KRS 222.430-222.437) which became effective July 13, 2004. Ms. Wethington has devoted her life to this cause for twenty years, speaking at every opportunity to raise awareness about the disease of addiction and inspire others to advocacy.

She considers it an honor and a privilege to be the bearer of Casey's light so that others may find their path to recovery.
