In 2017 Family Recovery Society (Formerly Mothers Recovery Society) began as a support group to help moms in recovery. What began as a Facebook group quickly turned into weekly meet-ups and support meetings for mothers in recovery serving the Metro Vancouver area of BC Canada. In 2018 they became an official non-profit organization and were able to provide funding for mothers to host support meetings in their homes.
During the pandemic, the need for this support became vital to the survival of our members. They felt a call to add extra supports not just for mothers, but all parents trying to navigate recovery. With in-person meetings shut down they quickly got set up to host meetings online and began serving parents across Canada. Since then their organization has experienced huge growth. With the support of the Canadian Red Cross, they have been able to offer life-changing opportunities and access to support for mothers and fathers who are fighting for a better life for their families.
