👋 friends!!

We just wanted to pop in and share an upcoming event we are hosting! One of our board members is starting a Mothers Advisory Committee to discuss the needs in the St. John Valley.

Attached is the signup sheet, we are hoping you can all print this and put it in your places of work and or worship and or recovery.

We are seeking LIVED EXPERIENCE here. Well have snacks and other conversations, it’ll be a great opportunity to network!

The meeting will be held at 1st mile active recovery center on Wednesday November 4th. We start at 6pc but we will convene by 7p as ACA starts at 7:15, but you are all welcome to stay for ACA. It’s a great group and it’s for anyone who grew up in a family that had any sort of addiction or mental / spiritual health disorder… or anyone with any sort of dysfunction in their upbringing. Either way, it’s a great 12 step group that focuses on fixing ourselves to help our family.

We can’t wait to see all the moms who want to share their story and / or perspective.

You can dm us for more info and we’ll get your email to our board!

You don’t need a diagnosis or to even resonate with that word to begin seeking medication support. Sometimes a formal diagnosis can guide us, but our door is open to anyone who might feel like life has just become harder to keep up with than it used to be.

You may notice ongoing sadness, irritability, shifts in mood, constant worry, low self-esteem, or a loss of interest in things that once felt like you.

As this builds over time, everyday life can start to feel heavier. If you’re distracted or low on energy, you might be missing deadlines, putting things off, or pulling back from people you care about. Some days it can feel like you’re using every ounce of strength just to get through.

If any of this feels familiar, our medication providers can help you sort through what you’ve been experiencing, talk through options together, and explore whether psychiatric medication could be one helpful piece of support if you ever decide you want to consider it. Our goal is to help you feel steadier and more like yourself again.
