ERC Hope Orientation for Family & Friends
Join us virtually, every Wednesday for the Hope Orientation for Family & Friends. The Hope Orientation is open to all ERC friends and family and will be hosted on Zoom.
All stages of treatment are important, but the beginning is a critical foundation to them all. The Hope Orientation will help establish a strong beginning, middle and end.
When you attend this important Orientation, we’ll guide you through:
- The basics: who, what, when, where, why, and next steps.
- Practical tips for how to make the most of treatment.
- Best ways to support your loved one during their early stages of recovery.
