Finding hope in hard seasons

STORIES OF PAST WORKSHOP ATTENDERS
"Miscarriages happen, right? I told myself I should just get over it. But I just couldn't shake my sadness. In REBUILD, I learned tools for helpful grieving so I could grieve my loss and take steps toward embracing life once again."

"I figured RECOVER was only for those with addictions. But I discovered it's for anyone ready to face whatever barriers hold them back--even if the barrier is how we relate to others. That was me. I'm finding my voice in this safe, authentic community."
