The purpose of the Women's Recovery Workshop?
The purpose of the Women's Recovery Workshop is to offer an opportunity for women in any 12-step program to gather and share their recovery with each other, learn more about the steps and how to apply the principles in their daily lives. This is not a workshop led by mental health professionals. All of our workshop leaders and speakers are simply members of a 12 step program sharing experience, strength and hope.
