Meet Modern Family Recovery

Recover The Mother has a new name

Hello Friends,

I am in the midst of viewing the footage from our first two shoots and preparing for the third in two weeks in Colorado. I decided last night that it was time for the rename of this space that I talked about doing a few months ago. I was thinking I’d name the newsletter/column after the film but,

1. We are waiting for the film to name itself organically so its still being called The Family Recovery Documentary. We know a name will come through so we are being patient.

2. As we continue to move forward with the making of the film, I want people to feel that this place isn’t just for mothers even though it started that way.

The film follows three families and three dynamics. Parents and child, a Daughter/Mother/Grandparent and a pair of Siblings. We have experts in brain science, addiction, family systems, trauma, shame, stigma and recovery rounding out the storytelling with evidence that a compassionate response, education, healthy connection, skill building and investing in our own recovery works.

The imagery and storytelling thus far is so beautiful. It is an honor to be given the opportunity to be one of the people holding this space for these stories to come through and help them go out into the world in service to ending the suffering. Clearly something greater than us is at work here.

You can follow the film here and here on our website.
