GPS for People in Recovery | Wednesdays 5-6:30pm ET

“It doesn’t matter how much sobriety we have, being isolated and stressed during this pandemic has been really hard. All of our coping strategies are harder to do. It’s hard to deal with our roller coaster of emotions. Sometimes I wonder if I can make it.” Come join us and talk about the stuff you can’t talk about anywhere else. You deserve support. Facilitated by people with your lived experience. All who identify as being in recovery are welcome.

Testimonials

"I have led groups for my entire career but never before have I found a model that matches the cadence of my heart. It incorporates a social justice focus in an accessible, welcoming way that both facilitators and group members can embrace."

Meredith Pesce, Program Manager, Recovery Residences, Portland ME

"The GPS Model works. It is a powerful community resource, a lifeline of support, validation, perspective and healing that is missing in many people’s lives. GPS also supports group facilitators by providing a reliable structure and road map for us to use when serving the people we care about."

Andrea Guzman, Maya Health Alliance, Guatemala

"Many of us have been leading postpartum groups for moms for years, but without a structure to follow, we were just winging it. GPS is a treasure box and is changing the way we are supporting moms in Arizona."

Carol Sheehan RN, Tucson Postpartum Depression Task Force, Arizona
