One Family’s Journey
When a family member struggles with mental health or substance use issues, recovery for the whole family is a journey – from heartbreak to healing. The goal of the Resources to Recover website (rtor.org) is to shorten the cycle of discovery that occurs when a family realizes that they have a serious problem at home and they don’t know where to turn. Helping families and saving lives is what Laurel House and rtor.org and its clinicians do every day.
Thank you to Lily Genovese, Darien 2020 Town Champion, and her family for sharing part of their family story. People get better when families are involved in a healthy and balanced way.
