“We Recover Together” Peer Meetings
The Recovered Arts Film & Theatre Collective
is proud to offer all-inclusive peer addiction recovery support meetings specifically designed for those within British Columbia’s film and theatre communities.
We are not outsiders; we are in recovery, work in the entertainment industry ourselves, and understand.
These peer-led groups provide a safe, stigma-free, and non-judgmental space for individuals at any stage of their journey who are looking to explore and change their relationship with substances and actions.
