Overcoming Addictions:

The Addictions Support Group is for those suffering from the challenges of addiction including alcoholism, drug addictions, sex addiction, gambling addiction and other. It seems to be an almost universal truth that before things can get better; they have to get worse and in some cases a lot worse.  When someone "hits the bottom" and wants to reach out for help, this group is committed to being there. Because addiction is progressive in nature, there comes a point when even the most addicted person decides that there just might be a problem. Addiction does not stay in one place.  It doesn't hit a certain stage and then level off. It keeps deepening, affecting each of us physically, mentally, morally and spiritually. In some cases, the addiction will go on for many years while there is a constant denying of the downward spiral into social, economic, moral and spiritual decline. If this sounds familiar, there are a few questions that you might want to ask yourself about your own addiction or your loved one's addiction.  It doesn't have to get any worse before you can find help putting your life back on track. The Addiction Support Group is committed to providing help and support.

Adolescence:

The Adolescence Support Group is for young people ages twelve to seventeen. Participants find that in this group the leaders are sensitive to the unique challenges facing today's youth and provide a “safe” place for them to talk about their world. Led by a licensed professional, the group uses the skills necessary to understand, talk about, and cope with life circumstances in a healthy and positive way. The group encourages teens to talk about their experiences in a loving, safe environment that builds self-respect and a sense of trust through relationships with caring adults.

Cancer Recovery:

When the report is not good news and the “C” word is mentioned, the Cancer Recovery Support Group is here to help. This group is made up of others who have received the same diagnosis and struggled with the same or similar situations. People who have been diagnosed with cancer sometimes find they need assistance coping with the emotional, as well as, the practical aspects of their disease. In fact, attention to the emotional burden of cancer is sometimes part of a patient’s treatment plan. The Cancer Recovery Support Group is designed to provide a confidential atmosphere where cancer patients or cancer survivors can discuss the challenges that accompany the illness with others who may have experienced the same challenges. These challenges can include emotional needs created by cancer, exchanging information about the disease, discussing practical problems, managing some of the side effects and the possibility of returning to work after treatment.

Conflict can be the result of a natural disagreement resulting from individuals or groups that differ in attitudes, beliefs, values, or needs. It can also originate from a variety of differences. Some of the ingredients of conflict include perceptions, power, feelings, and emotions. This support group is committed to providing a safe place where conflict can be discussed and healing can prevail. 

Developing and Maintaining Healthy Relationships:

In this complex and stressful society, statistics confirm the fact that there is a need for support in our effort to develop and maintain healthy relationships. The path to developing and deepening relationships with others often begins by looking within. This involves supporting concepts such as being compassionate, gentle and loving to ourselves and then caring for others in the same way. We must ask ourselves “do I love and accept myself as I am, in this moment?” By looking within, this support group will provide the environment where we can assume the responsibility for how we interact with others and share our struggle in trying. This support group is committed to assisting participants in developing a healthy relationship with self, family and loved ones.

Grief Recovery:

The purpose of a Grief Support Group is to provide ways for dealing with grief; to provide support for the process of grief; to provide an environment to meet other people who are grieving and to identify support systems. When we lose a loved one,  it may be hard to feel optimistic about the future. If you have lost a spouse, child, family member or friend, you have probably found that there are not many people who understand the deep hurt you feel. The Grief Recovery Support Group is a special group of people who have experienced the pain of losing someone and is sensitive to those currently grieving the loss of someone close. The group is made up of people who understand what you are experiencing and want to offer you comfort and encouragement during this difficult time. Sometimes when we lose a loved one, the pain we feel is much worse than we anticipated. When our friends and family seem to have gone on with their lives, we feel alone and lost. Sharing our memories and grief with others can be helpful to us, for as we begin sharing, we receive support and begin healing. If you are grieving the loss of a loved one, whether recent or not, you are invited to attend our grief support group meetings.
