For families walking through a loved one's addiction

A 9-week closed group for parents, spouses, and family members of someone in addiction. Faith-based curriculum rooted in Scripture. Small group, real conversations, people who understand what you're carrying. Free. No cost to attend.
This group uses curriculum developed by Living Free, a national discipleship ministry used by churches and recovery programs across the country. Our facilitators are trained and certified through Living Free's facilitator training.
What You'll Work Through
- Setting boundaries without guilt

- Taking care of yourself when every instinct says focus on them
- Forgiveness when trust has been broken over and over
- Finding your footing when someone you love is in crisis

Who This Is For
This group is for the parent who doesn't know what to do next. The spouse who has tried everything. Anyone exhausted from managing someone else's crisis and looking for people who actually understand. It doesn't matter where your loved one is — active addiction, recovery, relapse, incarceration. This group is about you.
What This Isn't
Not a 12-step program. Not therapy. Not clinical. A Christ-centered small group with structured curriculum for people in your situation.
