INSERT 1 Emory Livers A Lifetime of Service Emory Livers has served an impactful career within the field of addiction recovery and rehabilitation. His lifelong work includes over 25 years with UMADAOP in Cincinnati, as well as time working with facilities and programs of similar focus. Through decades of compassionate involvement with prison inmates and people struggling with various forms of addiction, Emory has worked closely with countless families to bring wholeness and safety back into many of their lives. To describe his work humbly, he is a man of insatiable commitment to the cause of helping others. Many still remember the Attica Riots that took place in the early 70’s in the state of New York.The prison uprising was among the worst riots to ever take place in any U.S. correctional facility.The event saw thousands of prisoners take employees and volunteers hostage, only for the event to end in bloodshed from both sides of the conflict, with no short amount of political controversy to heighten the stakes and outcome.The riot took place shortly after Emory began his internship with NYS Narcotic Control Commission in Rehabilitation Counseling. And before long, Emory’s study turned to practice as he counseled and gave treatment to inmates at Attica Prison, playing his role in an event that would eventually make history books.
