Connecting People in Recovery (CPR)

An eight week closed addiction recovery support group. Meetings are held weekly and facilitated by Dennis Martin BRE, MMCC, member of OACCPP (NLC staff) and Elaine Orr. The group objective is to provide a safe and supportive environment to help individuals transition from an addictive lifestyle(s) to one that is balanced and healthy.

Girls Groups

We offer one-hour interactive groups at high schools for 4 weeks in duration. The topics include self-esteem, relationships, stress, friendships, body image and more.

Guys Groups

We offer one-hour interactive groups at high schools for 5 weeks in duration. The topics include self-esteem, relationships, stress, anger management and more.

In 2009 & 2010 these groups were offered at Denis Morris High School and Eden High School.
Here is what the students are saying about the group:

“I felt very open and wanted.”

“I liked that you could say anything and not get judged.”

“It helped me with the struggles in my life.”

“I realized that other girls have the same feelings, stresses, and problems that I have.”
