June 2007

FACES knows that families can not rest until they can find the best treatment and recovery program for their loved ones. We also know that in order to do this, everyone must take care of their own physical and emotional needs. We are here to help support you in your quest. The FACES support group meets on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday each month to share information, tips, sorrow, joy and hope. Please join us at 7:00-8:30 PM.

FACES also shares information at our monthly advocacy meetings (see calendar) and, of course, you can call the office at (804) 378-0035 for individual assistance in securing information or support.

The following information was requested and seems to be a useful source for "children of all ages."
