What happens here
Four things we do
-
Weekly Recovery Circles
2:00 PM
A small group that meets every week, led by people in recovery. You're known by name, you hear honest feedback, and someone notices when you're not there. Nobody comes here to fix anybody. We come to sit with each other.
-
Meals & Social Events
3:00 PM
A hot meal at 3:00 on every open day, at a table with company. Coffee, cards, and conversation fill the rest of the afternoon. Belonging starts with a seat at the table.
-
School for Recovery Classes
Classes in yoga, meditation, writing, and life and recovery skills. Come to learn something, and to do the hard work of healthier choices alongside people doing the same. Whatever you're recovering from, there's a class for the living part.
-
Recovery Resources
When you need something we don't do here, we'll help you find who does: treatment, recovery housing, healthcare, food, legal aid, work. Ask anyone at the counter.
At Recovery Café, you matter and you are loved.
Whether you are new to recovery or in long-term recovery, experiencing a crisis or struggling with a relapse, in a mental health transition or going through a difficult life change, the Café is a place of support and stability for all individuals seeking to break the cycle of destruction and despair.
