If you are someone who is presently struggling with how best to assist a loved one experiencing challenges with substance abuse or mental health concerns, A Welcoming Place is for you.

All too often shame and stigma hinder the process of supporting those dealing with substance use. A Welcoming Place is a new group that is intended to provide; friendship, resources and an opportunity to share. Drug addiction and substance use has a powerful impact on families, friends and the community. With this said, A Welcoming Place is an additional tool in the kit. It offers an island of respite for caring friends and family.

A Welcoming Place takes place at St. Luke’s Church in East Greenwich. All are welcome.
