No, the sessions are not recorded to ensure privacy for all participants.

Providing emotional support, understanding recovery processes, and setting healthy boundaries are key to supporting someone in recovery.

We discuss coping mechanisms such as joining support groups, practicing self-care, and seeking professional counseling if needed.

Encourage open communication, celebrate their progress, and provide support without enabling unhealthy behaviors.

Behavioral changes, increased isolation, and returning to old habits may be signs that your loved one is struggling.

We provide information on local support groups, counseling services, and online resources for families and friends of individuals in recovery.
