Grief includes both the emotional pain of loss and also the suffering of trying to get back on our feet. In our own personal voyages there is a lot of advice out there. Some of it softens the pain but some of it also really cuts. My goal has never been to "get over it" but rather to learn to "carry it." The sessions will start with a sign in naming ourself and our lost loved one, reviewing the simple ground rules for participating, sharing some of our story, sharing reactions so some of the advice that is offered to us, and closing wit sharing one small thing that our lost loved one could always do to leave us with a smile.

Understanding substance abuse
Struggling with substance use can bring feelings of shame, guilt, and isolation. Whether you’re in recovery or considering taking the first step, the path to healing can feel daunting, especially without connection and understanding. Peer support provides a safe, nonjudgmental community where individuals can share their experiences with addiction and recovery. By connecting with others on similar journeys, participants gain accountability, empathy, and strength to keep moving forward. No one has to face this battle alone.
How peer support helps with substance abuse
Peer support helps with substance abuse because change is rarely linear and healing often requires community, honesty, and accountability. A supportive group can make it easier to stay connected to progress and keep going through setbacks or uncertainty.
