Navigating Addiction Workshops
If you’re struggling with addiction, even the simplest parts of everyday life can feel overwhelming. Things that once felt manageable, like relationships, work and social events can become difficult to navigate.
You don’t have to figure it all out on your own. These workshops are designed to offer practical support, understanding and a space to breathe. Whether you’re at the beginning of your recovery or further along the journey, each session is here to help you make sense of what you’re going through and build tools that work in real life.
These psychoeducational sessions will be led by Norman Beecher, an Addiction Specialist, and Hannah Brinley, a Learning and Development Specialist. Each workshop lasts 2 hours and you’ll see the upcoming sessions listed below, simply register for as many as you’d like to attend. We also recommend that you consider joining our weekly Recovery Support Groups for additional peer support.
