ELSEWHERE

IS YOUR MARRIAGE HURTING IN ANY WAY?   Has your marriage grown cold, distant, unloving or uncaring?  Then please consider Retrouvaille – a program designed to help heal and renew marriages.  Retrouvaille is for marriages that have lost some of their spark, for marriages having difficulties in communication and even those marriages on the edge of separation or divorce.  The next program begins September 11th – 13th. For more information call (513)398-3137 or visit our website at www.retrouvaille.org.  Other weekends and location are available – call for details.  

DONATIONS NEEDED    Mental Health America of Northern Kentucky is currently seeking donations of household items (furniture, pots, pans, silverware, bedding, etc.) for their new Sober Living houses.  This organization recently responded to a critical need for Sober Living housing for men and women transitioning out of local mental health, alcohol, and substance treatment programs.  The houses are apartment buildings with one building accommodating 13 people and the other building accommodating 16 people.  A unique feature is that tenants can have their children stay with them overnight, which supports the goal of rebuilding stable families.  The affordable rent gives residents a chance to learn how to budget their money and develop savings accounts while working at what might be a minimum wage job.  Living in the house also provides many opportunities for individuals to succeed in recovery. It provides continued support and new, sober friendships that can be hard to find and maintain outside the house.  To learn more or to find out how to donate items, contact Angie Cooper at 431-1077, ext. 482, or visit their website at www.mhanky.org.
