Every Friday at 9:30 AM

At the Mothers for Recovery Support Group, we understand the unique challenges mothers face when seeking help for substance use. Our staff and participants have experienced the fear, shame, guilt, and judgment that can come with being a mother struggling with substance use. We know how hard it can be to share your story in a professional setting.

Here, you will find a safe space where there is no judgment—only understanding. As peers who have been where you are, we welcome you with open arms. You can share as much or as little as you feel comfortable. There is no pressure—just support from people who genuinely care.

Our Beliefs

     

      • All mothers love their children and want the best for them.

      • Every mother, with the right support, can build a thriving, healthy life for herself and her children.

      • The best recovery guides are those who have walked the journey themselves.

      • Every mother and child deserves a safe place to grow, learn, and thrive.

      • Each recovery journey is unique.

      • Addiction is a family disease.

    What to Expect

    Our support group provides a safe, confidential, and nurturing environment. Sessions are facilitated by a staff member in recovery, trained to support group environments, and occasionally joined by Elder Joanne.

    Each session begins with a reading, followed by a chance for participants to share their struggles, successes, or thoughts. Sharing is optional and pressure-free. Participants can also offer or receive feedback if desired. Over time, we build trust, form meaningful relationships, and help each other create new, fulfilling lives.

    Who Can Join
