Thank you Home Depot Saint John for including the women of Sophia in your Christmas treat delivery run this week!!

PLEASE SHARE!! Based on the important messages communicated by Public Health this weekend, we have made the decision to limit in-person interactions at SRC as much as possible for the next 2 weeks. While we are not closing our doors, we are encouraging Women of Sophia to stay home as much as possible for now. Please read this full post to see all program changes. --GROUP PROGRAMS ARE CANCELLED FOR TWO WEEKS. Some programs may move to a ZOOM format. Please watch this page for... information and updates. --If you have an upcoming one on one appointment with a Peer Recovery Coach, please expect to hear from us in the next day or so. We will be re-arranging as many appointments as possible as phone and zoom calls. --If you need urgent recovery support, please call the Centre (633-8783), or contact us via our Confidential Contact form on the website. We will respond promptly and will arrange for you to speak with one of our staff. https://sophiarecoverycentre.com/contact/ --Please stay safe and we will see you as soon as it is safe for us all to be together again.

We are reconfiguring the living room at Sophia this weekend and need a little more time to get it ready for this new group. We are looking forward to seeing you next Sunday instead! Please remember to call ahead and let us know you will be attending. Thanks!

We want to say a giant thank you to TIFF FILM CIRCUIT SAINT JOHN for their support for our mission this year. Although COVID derailed the planned screening of this thought-provoking film, you can still catch Murmur on iTunes.

With the transition to the orange phase, we want everyone to know about minor changes to our program calendar at Sophia. Our doors will remain OPEN and we will continue to offer the recovery support that so many women rely on. -Our daily Coffee Hour program will be on hold until our zone returns to the yellow phase. -Coffee and tea will still be available but use of our kitchen is limited to ONE person at a time. -Group programs will be limited to the number of women that can... safely be together in our rooms, with a 2 meter distance between each. Please call ahead to let us know when you will be attending a program. This includes Group CBT/DBT Therapy, BYOBB, Balancing Spirituality and Meditation. -The new Sophia Recovery Support Group will not meet this Sunday. The first meeting will be next Sunday instead. - As before, MASKS MUST BE WORN AT ALL TIMES. Thank you! See more

Gathering with family and friends is one of the best parts of the holiday season. This year, gatherings may need to be small, but that will make them extra special! Would you consider helping us share our message of hope, recovery and community transformation with a Sophia Supper package to enhance and uplift your social celebrations in the coming weeks? Your support helps us keep our doors open for women who will need all the love and support we can give this December.

We'd love to see you this week at Sophia. New Group Therapy session with Nicole Mallay starts today at 2:15. There are still spaces for new women to join the group.

Q: Why aren’t people in recovery good dancers? A: They lose interest after twelve steps. (Sometimes it's good to just laugh a little.)

We hope to see you this week! #womenhelpingwomen

Our Group Therapy program on Wednesdays is full, so we've added a second session with Nicole. Please call or message us to register for this great opportunity to learn with a professional counsellor in a small group of like-minded women. Starting on MONDAY, OCTOBER 26th.

Today is a great day to take a step in the right direction. #Sophiasayings #womenofSophia

STARTS TOMORROW! A new workshop based on Hazelden's Living In Balance Program. Led by our Peer Recovery Coach, Mary, the sessions will focus on spirituality, prayer and a higher power. This workshop will help you work through your personal views about spirituality and learn how addiction affects our sense of connection. Please call 633-8783 or message us to register. #evidencebasedlearning #womenhelpingwomen

Another busy week at Sophia begins! And don't forget that DAILY COFFEE HOUR at 10am is still running. Women are also always welcome to call us or just drop in for a chat at ANY TIME 9am - 4:30pm.

"The opposite of addiction isn't sobriety. The opposite of addiction is connection." This video is from a few years ago, but its important message still needs to reach more people. It is very well worth your time to watch this short TED talk. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PY9DcIMGxMs

On Friday, our team took a day to talk about our work together. We gathered our thoughts about all the things we do and how these actions contribute towards our core purpose. Tomorrow, we will open the door again at 9am, energized and ready to engage women in recovery. #womenofSophia #womenhelpingwomen

The Sophia team are putting our brains and hearts together today to talk about the best ways we can help women. #womenhelpingwomen
