Trinity Family Recovery Meetings

The Trinity Recovery and Support Ministry is hosting Monday evening meetings for adults and families with Substance Use Disorders. An individual’s substance use disorder affects their family and friends. Families need education, care, and encouragement during this sometimes-prolonged recovery process. This weekly group meeting provides both the information and guidance that family members and friends need to deal with the immediate crises of substance abuse, as well as the on-going support they need to make the necessary and often painful choices that SUD recovery requires.

Meetings are held each Monday in Room 114 from 6:00 - 7:00 pm. Drop in anytime, no reservation is needed. For more information, please contact Kay Roman (803.738.7043) at kayroman28@gmail.com , or Richard Breibart (803.261.6577) at rjbreibart154@gmail.com .
