MMAS Support Meetings - Coming Soon

---

Mind And Meaning Addiction Support hosts their own community support meetings each Tuesday at 7PM MST, modeled similarly to AA and SMART Recovery. Currently, these support meetings are held virtually, but we plan to transition to a hybrid format in the future, allowing members to participate either in person or online. These meetings aim to foster community support by connecting like-minded individuals, along with providing brief discussions on meaning therapy and mental wellness or urge coping tools. 

Please note that the Zoom ID will vary based on the meeting host, so be sure to check the Events page for the updated Zoom ID and password.

Hosted weekly, our community support group teaches people how to knit toques, scarves, and afghans. It's a place for members to gather, share stories, and learn about a tool that keeps their hands busy. We encourage everyone to drop in, even if you think knitting isn't for you; many of our members swore they would never knit and are now enthusiasts. If you choose not to knit but want to enjoy the conversation, you're more than welcome. Knitting looms are very easy to learn, usually taking only about five minutes to teach someone. Our weekly support meetings' days have not yet been decided and will be announced later. This group is also aligned with Mind and Meaning Addiction Support and SMART Recovery, providing an additional layer of support for those interested.

For our community support meetings, we offer crafting sessions based on demand, and our hope is to hold at least one session regularly. Crafts include knitting, sketching, landscape creation, model building, and painting (both free style and paint by number), among many others! These gatherings serve a dual purpose: they provide our members with a chance to socialize in a non-meeting setting, while also teaching valuable skills to help keep their hands busy when they need a distraction. The cost for the class is determined by the materials for each meeting, and all materials are provided at no upcharge or profit. For our next class, please check the Events page as part of our Mind and Meaning Addiction Support and SMART Recovery initiatives!

As a licensed SMART Recovery facilitator, our founder Shane leads a SMART Recovery meeting each week on Wednesdays at 7PM MST. SMART, which stands for Self Management And Recovery Training, is a science and evidence-based community support program that provides individuals with the tools they need to navigate their recovery journey. The program is continually refined as new evidence in addiction and psychology emerges, and they also offer an app that features a meeting finder and a variety of articles.
