Jean (left) has been in long-term recovery for over 12 years. During her recovery, she earned a master’s degree and became certified to help others through their recovery journey. Laura (right) is a non-user who struggled with the effects of her sister's addiction. After many years of distance, we have repaired our relationship and have partnered to form Reclamation Sisters. We hope that our curriculum can help those in recovery reclaim a purpose-focused life.
