Recovery is something you shouldn’t go through alone.
The Consumer Family Learning Center (CFLC) is here to offer support for people 18-years-old and older whose lives have been affected by mental illness and/or substance use. Support is provided by others who have their own recovery experiences.
BUILDING A COMMUNITY
This is not another treatment plan. The CFLC is a community. With its countless classes, support groups and activities, it gives its members a safe space to learn more about their illnesses, build lasting friendships and explore their passion.
The CFLC offers a wide selection of activities, including:
-
Anonymous support groups
-
Classes
-
Social activities
-
Arts and crafts
-
And much more!
Important Update
Effective August 18, 2021, the Consumer Family Learning Center (CFLC) will only offer virtual groups and classes to consumers in both English and Spanish. To view what the CFLC has coming up in October 2022, click here for the virtual calendar.
