You're Invited: Introduction to Advocacy for Families!

WEBINAR

Partnership to End Addiction and Recovery Advocacy Project invite you to join us on February 17 at 2:00pm ET (11:00am PT) to learn how you can advocate for policies that support families and individuals impacted by addiction.

Addiction affects millions of families of all types. Yet, there is limited access to effective, evidence-based treatment; insufficient insurance coverage; and widespread low-quality, fraudulent treatment.

With your help, we can fix this.

By combining personal stories and research, you can influence policymakers to change policy at federal, state and local levels.

JOIN US TO LEARN MORE

This webinar is free and open to all families that have faced addiction.

We hope to see you there!

💫 When You're Fearful of Disappointing Everyone

It’s normal to care about what others think and worry about how our decisions will impact them, but once we allow the fear of disappointment to take over, we’re simply hitting our own head against the wall.

The fear of disappointing others is a powerful negative emotion that can eat away at our happiness, our passions, and even create resentment.

So how do we protect our own needs before letting this fear direct our actions?
Listen to this week's Recovery Coaching call now.
