Update regarding Recovery Cafe Virtual Services

How do the new statewide restrictions impact recovery support services?

We take everyone's health and safety very seriously. Governor Inslee has announced statewide restrictions on indoor social gatherings (among other things) for the next four weeks. Read here.

We will continue our 1:1 teleconnection support via phone, text, e-mail, and Zoom. We will also continue our virtual Recovery Circles. To enroll in a Recovery Circle, fill out this form here.

The main change is that we will no longer have hybrid Recovery Circles nor in-person Give Back days until the restrictions are lifted. This will not last forever. We’ve been here before and will get through it again. Let’s make the extra effort to stay connected these few weeks, especially as dark winter days set in. You are not alone!

Monthly Volunteer Training this Friday

Join us this Friday 11/20 from 10am-11:30am for our monthly Volunteer Training. National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) JeffCo will be facilitating the topic of "Suicide Prevention & Intervention."

If you've not already, please register here to receive the link via email beforehand. In the meantime, view our most recent Volunteer Training on "Self-Care" below (skip past introductions to 43:00).
