Recovery Advocate Network: Coffee & Conversation

Recovery Advocate Network (RAN) was founded to address the staggering and alarming disparity in resource availability for individuals suffering from mental health disorders, processing disorders, substance abuse, trauma healing, and sexual identity challenges. RAN strives to "Break the Stigma" by educating the community about mental health challenges and wellness. Interested in participating?
