Join us for a transformative evening that will shatter myths, cultivate compassion, and empower our community to face the addiction crisis head-on. On Wednesday June 11th at 6pm at the Manchester Public Library, a certified Family Recovery Support Specialist and trauma-sensitive yoga & meditation instructor will guide us through a powerful exploration of addiction's real impact.

The Reality We Can't Ignore: addiction touches every one of us. Whether it's a family member, friend, colleague, or someone in our broader community, we all know someone impacted by this crisis.

DON'T LET THE STIGMA STOP YOU from being a part of this important conversation!

Whether you're directly or indirectly affected, this event is for you. We'll create a safe, judgment-free space to learn, connect, and become part of the solution.

What You'll Discover:

  • The true face of addiction and its far-reaching impact
  • The myths that fuel stigma and prevent people from seeking the help they need
  • Compassionate, evidence-based approaches for supporting those who struggle with addiction
  • Mindfulness techniques for finding calm in the chaos of life
  • Practical tools to make a real difference in your community

This is a critical conversation for ALL community members especially, educators, healthcare professionals, law enforcement, first responders, social workers, community leaders, parents, caregivers and concerned citizens.

Together, we can transform understanding, extend compassion, and make a real difference. Your presence matters.

Time for shared experiences and Q&A will follow the presentation.
