COVID-19 CRISIS - Recovery-Related Resources

A message from PRO-A:

As the nation is coming together and responding to the COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) pandemic by avoiding public congregations as part of efforts to contain the virus and save lives, PRO-A wants to make sure that the recovery community can get together and support each other.  Please consider taking time to connect with and support each other as the national crisis and response is creating additional stressors.  It is a time for the recovery community to shine.

In the spirit of the times, we have put together a listing of online recovery support groups for people to use as being out in public and social distancing is being recommended. Please check in on and support each other.

There is no community on earth like the recovery community. Let’s help each other, support recovery and be part of the solution in the midst of this crisis.

Thank you,
William Stauffer
Executive Director
