Frum Support Group for Women Is (or might) someone you love struggling with an addiction?You’ve spent tireless years raising your children, endless diaper changes, wiping noses, helping them with homework, soothing their physical and emotional hurts, laughing with and loving them. Then - something went wrong. Something you thought only happened to other people’s families. Alcohol, drugs, and other self-destructive behaviors entered your child’s life, changing everything. You sadly wondered, “What happened to my sweet innocent child?”, “What did I do wrong?” and “What can I do to fix them?” You feel confused, betrayed, guilty, angry and ashamed. The other children or relationships are beginning to suffer. Sometimes you falsely believe that once one crisis has passed the problem will go away, but it doesn’t. Denial, not asking for educated advice and guidance from experienced professionals, fear and shame are common obstacles to healthy change. We can help. At JACS we have extensive experience and success in helping parents and family members dealing with addiction issues. Educate and empower yourselves so you can make a healthy difference in your and your family’s life. Call us we’ll walk through the process with you. There is currently a support group running Monday evenings at 8 p.m. in the Bathurst / Wilson area. To attend you must agree to anonymity rules and group guidelines. Please call David Kaufman at JACS (647-238-3480) for more information. All contact with JACS is confidential. Blessings, David Kaufman Director of Outreach and Education
