Journeys of Hope


As our Red Deer Family Recovery Group approaches 1 year (April 1st start date) please know how many lives you have impacted and gave hope to in our very hard journeys.  Our facilitators are wonderful and PEP has truly saved my life and helped others - mother of a son on journey.
With PEP I learned that I needed to take care of myself and that it was ok to love me again.
I encourage others to reach out sooner. You are not alone and with the support of others and the knowledge you gain through PEP's Family Recovery Group, healing can begin.  You can find yourself again.

The greatest thing that PEP Family Recovery Group brings to my life is the feeling that I am not alone. Hearing others stories while crying and laughing together is my safe place to find healing.

We will make a slider so this testimonial might be there already on the existing site.
