When a loved one is struggling with Substance Use Disorder (SUD) it can be an overwhelming experience that affects relationships, health and even faith. Connecting with peers can make a difference.

LTM's  monthly support group is open to family and friends of those struggling with misuse. We focus on sharing personal experiences and learning from each other in a compassionate and confidential environment. The meeting offers a way to enhance coping skills and self-care. 

The support group is led by a licensed Clinical Social Worker.
