We talk about problems in individual, couple, family, and

The Living Room
Wednesday afternoons, 1:00 - 6:00
For more information, call 325-1180, ext 114.
You’re Invited to The Living Room. Our peer support program, where volunteers offer coffee, tea, and a safe place to heal and grow. In The Living Room, men and women with real life problems create a nonjudgmental space in which people can share their struggles, offer encouragement, and exchange coping strategies. Folks bring problems ranging from parenting dilemmas to pain from past abuse, to living with a diagnosable mental illness.
In the Living Room, relationships are built on mutuality, shared power, and respect.
Wesley's Mothers
Tuesday afternoons, 2:30 - 4:00
For more information, call 489-5559
Wesley's Mothers is a meeting for mothers whose children are in county, State, or Federal Correctional Facilities. The moms who have attended say they finally have a place where they're understood. A place where they can talk about the shame, self-blame, isolation, fear, and helplessness they experience in relation to both their children's poor choices and the conditions of their children's lives behind bars.
It's an anonymous and open meeting where mothers offer and receive support!
