- The purpose of the Women's Recovery
Workshop?
The purpose of the Women's Recovery Workshop is to offer an opportunity
for women in any 12-step program to gather and share their recovery
with each other, learn more about the steps and how to apply the
principles in their daily lives. This is not a workshop led by mental
health professionals. All of our workshop leaders and speakers are
simply members of a 12 step program sharing experience, strength and
hope.
