Family Enrichment Program We realize that families and loved ones are deeply affected by addiction and unhealthy choices of their family members - the women we serve. The Family Enrichment Program is designed to help family members and friends develop a better understanding of addiction, mental health issues, and what is involved to live in recovery from substance abuse. The Program offers family and friends the opportunity to participate in educational and skill building activities and to receive resources and enrichment to help them as they strive to heal and rebuild relationships. A family member can be any person who is a part of a resident's family of origin, part of her extended family, or someone in her support network. In other words, family is anyone who is supportive of a resident's efforts to maintain long-term recovery and is willing to participate in family enrichment activities alongside and to assist her. Twelve-step sponsors, god parents, pastors, prayer partners, friends, children, and siblings of residents are all welcome and encouraged to participate in the informational and motivational activities on the Family Enrichment Program. If you are a family member or support person for a resident or former resident of The Next Door Nashville or the Freedom Recovery Community, please join us.Events are held monthly on the dates listed below. Events are always on Saturday, from 12:30 to 3:00 p.m., at The Next Door Nashville, located at 128 Eighth Avenue, South.  For more information, please contact Amanda Dunlap, amanda@thenextdoor.org.
