A weekly SMART Recovery Family & Friends meeting is starting at MCC on June 3!

What is SMART (Self-Management and Recovery Training)  for Family & Friends? Family & Friends meetings provide support and tools for people who are affected by the addictive behavior of someone close to them. The program aims to help participants develop more effective coping strategies and find a greater sense of fulfilment in their own lives.

SMART for Family and Friends meetings are FREE and open to adults who are affected by the addictive behavior of a loved one.

The meetings are at 5:00 every Monday, starting June 3, at 690 South Main Street, across from Taco Bell. Questions? Call or text Katrina Kazarian at 707 684 6303.

We are here to help!
