Family Learning and Education Series

This series is designed to educate, inform, and empower family members with knowledge and practical tools. While we value connection, our focus is on learning and gaining new insight.

Facilitated by Recovery Coaches. We bring lived experience because we’ve walked it. Justice involvement, history with substance use and addiction. We’ve been there, and we use that experience to help others learn, grow, and make empowered decisions.
