Mar-Anon is a fellowship of those affected by another person’s marijuana use. Its foundation is the Twelve Steps, adapted from Marijuana Anonymous, which can be a powerful, life-changing tool. We come together to work the steps and offer hope, comfort, and support for other members. We are not a religious group, instead, we use the steps as a path of self-discovery and personal change. Mar-Anon is independent of the Every Brain Matters Organization. EBM encourages Mar-Anon meetings to promote healing.

Every Brain Matters Monthly Speakers Meeting- Hayden-Moreau
2021-10-01 18:00 - 19:00
Join us on the first Friday of every month for messages of hope and healing from the impacts of marijuana.
Hello, my name is Hayden and I am 28 years old. Throughout my life, I have struggled with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and cannabis-induced psychosis. While some may view this as a negative, I have seen it as an opportunity to grow, learn, and help myself and others. On my quest for self-healing, I studied with teachers and disciplines including yoga, meditation, reiki, shamanism, martial arts, counseling, and volunteered at a suicide prevention hotline. In my work, I try to distill what I have found helpful from these bodies of knowledge and experiences into something easily applicable and practical for anyone. I share some of that information on my YouTube Channel, “Just Being Hayden”, where I focus on specific tools or approaches for mental health, particularly psychosis. I also work with people one-on-one to help them reach their recovery goals and give them tools that may be helpful for them along their journey.
If you have any questions or would like to schedule a session with you you can reach me at:
hmoreau@live.com or @hmoreau19 on Instagram.
Look forward to seeing you!
Hayden
*Please note that I am not a trained medical or mental health professional and nothing I say during the seminar should be treated as or replace professional care.
My hope in sharing with you would be to inspire your own curiosity, creativity, and empowerment. Sometimes realizing you are not alone and seeing that someone has walked the path before you can give the encouragement you need to take the next step in your recovery.
Every Brain Matters welcomes a different speaker every month who will share their experience and provide pathways to find serenity as we navigate through today’s pro-marijuana/drug culture. Whether you’re grieving the loss of a loved one or trying to recover yourself, this meeting is for you. You will be a Q & A at the end of each meeting. This meeting is appropriate for all family members ages 16 and up.

Corinne and Sally's Testimony Workshop
2021-10-23 11:00 - 12:00
We invite you to our testimony workshop with Corinne Gasper and Sally Schindel who have become inspiring speakers and advocates after the loss of their children from the effects of marijuana. This workshop is for anyone willing to share their testimonies about how marijuana impacted their lives but doesn’t know how to take the first steps.
The effects of marijuana and other drugs are real and increasing. The general public doesn’t understand the devastating impacts. So many times it’s hard for us to share honestly how today’s more potent and more dangerous marijuana has affected our lives and families. We understand that sharing your testimony can be painful and feel overwhelming. This workshop will provide you with support, encouragement, anonymity, and the tools to simple steps to raise awareness.
Corinne Gasper is the director of Jennifer’s Messengers, an organization dedicated to honoring her daughter Jennifer and other people killed by marijuana-impaired drivers. Corinne was recently awarded the 2021 Moxie Award from The Drug Free America Foundation
Sally Schindel, is the founder of Marijuana Victims Alliance and on the National Marijuana Initiative Speakers Bureau and is an advisor and volunteer for multiple organizations including Every Brain Matters. Her son, Andy, died in 2014. Andy’s suicide death is linked to marijuana addiction. He left a powerful message that Sally wants all to know. Andy said, “Marijuana killed my soul + ruined my brain.”

Joe Parker was born in Goldsboro, North Carolina on Seymour Johnson Air Force Base. After more moves than he can count he settled in Katy, TX with his mother and little sister. At age 14 after beginning his own recovery he realized his dream was to become a counselor in order to help other young people achieve their goals of a happy, healthy life free from debilitating addictions and self-destructive behaviors. Joe believes that one of the biggest keys to successful long-term recovery lies in a relationship with a higher power expressed through connection with others. He still follows the same basic principles today with 20+ years of recovery as he did with 30 days sober; God, Sponsor, Steps, Meetings, Service.
After Awakening from Cornerstone Recovery in 2000 at the age of 17 and graduating high school Joe began attending classes at Texas Tech. At the time of the September 11th attacks on the World Trade Center, he felt compelled to serve our country by enlisting in the Marine Corps. Following 8 years in the U.S. Marine Corps, including tours in the Republic of Georgia and active duty in Iraq in 2004-2005 as a machine gunner; Joe graduated from Texas Tech University in May 2008 with a B.S. in Human Development and Family Studies, and a minor in Substance Abuse Studies. During this time he spent several years (2005-2008) working in residential treatment centers across Texas before being honorably discharged from the Marines in November 2010. The following year he rejoined Cornerstone Recovery.
Joe currently works as the primary counselor for Cornerstone of Houston Team Counseling program in the greater Houston & Fortbend areas. Joe’s work is more than a job, he says it’s a calling and his passion. He has witnessed the success of Cornerstone’s Positive Peer Group method first hand, and says its value cannot be overstated. Positive peer support is what youth live and breathe by, and the daily example set by peers speaks the loudest; and with the parent group as the backbone of the program, he feels his role is to lead by example and illuminate the path.
Joe is an “in the trenches” type of counselor who deals with all aspects of substance abuse choosing to focus on a “whole person” method of treatment. He’s well-versed in what is needed in a crisis and has helped numerous families in facilitating interventions. He leads a weekly interactive group therapy session for parents where he facilitates open, honest, direct communication on all parenting topics especially as they relate to teens and self-destructive behaviors. He also provides individual counseling for both teens and parents, as well as family counseling in order to deal with all of the issues that may either be leading to or stemming from a substance abuse issue. He puts his all into getting at the heart of the matter so as to begin the healing in the mind, body, and spirit.
