FREE Family & Friends Support Hour
Join us on the First Thursday each month at 6:30 pm ET
Research shows that when the family gets help, the struggling loved one has a much greater chance of achieving and maintaining recovery.
This group meeting will happen every first Thursday of the month via Zoom and is free to all who would like to join. Each meeting will begin with a topic suggestion and/or a guest speaker.
These meetings are for you. The goal is to support you at the moment and provide tools and inspiration that you can take with you.
You do not have to share on the topic. Share whatever you need to at the time of the meeting or come as a quiet observer and collector of hope and inspiration.
