A licensed professional counselor leads this weekly online support group for families impacted by a loved one’s marijuana use. This is a safe, compassionate space where families learn practical recovery tools and gain support as they navigate challenges such as marijuana addiction, psychosis, hyperemesis, self-harm, or other harmful behaviors.
Whether your family is taking its first small step or feels like you’re climbing a steep mountain, every step matters. Each one can help restore connection, strengthen relationships, and improve overall family health.
In recovery, families often learn the 3 C’s of addiction:• We didn’t cause it.• We can’t control it.• We can’t cure it.
At the Every Brain Matters Climbers Meeting, we also explore a hopeful 4th C:How can we contribute in ways that support healing rather than harm?Through guided discussion and shared experiences, families gain clarity, confidence, and insight into healthier responses and boundaries.
We encourage each family member to focus on their own recovery journey, while allowing respectful cross-talk to share ideas, experiences, strength, and hope. Every family heals at their own pace, makes their own choices, and is met with respect, empathy, and confidentiality.
A donation is appreciated to help support the professional expertise and time provided, but no one is turned away due to financial limitations.Suggested donation: $20 per person or $35 per family. A donation is NOT required to attend.
🗓 Saturdays at 10:30 AM (Central Time)

Monthly Speakers Meeting- Cannabis-Induced Psychosis to Healing: A Story of Recovery, Faith, and Community
2026-04-08 19:00 - 20:00 | Online Zoom Meeting
In this new era of commercial marijuana, families need support and hope. Please join us on the 2nd Wednesday of every month for messages of healing from the impacts of marijuana and the expanding drug crisis. There will be a Q&A at the end of each meeting. This meeting may be recorded at the presenter’s discretion.
This month, we feature Cannabis-Induced Psychosis to Healing: A Story of Recovery, Faith, and Community – Andew Scatena.
I was on a path that could have ended in tragedy—losing my mind, my ability to function, or continuing to cause my parents deep pain every single day. At one point, during the grip of my marijuana use, I jumped from a three-story building. By all accounts, I shouldn’t be here. But I am. I had become completely dependent on cannabis—living to use, and using just to get through life—until even that stopped working.
After my second episode of psychosis, I finally got help at a treatment center in Prescott, Arizona called Recovery in the Pines. By the love and grace of Jesus, and through treatment and ongoing support, I began to regain clarity, stability, and purpose. Today, two years later, my life is not only stable—it’s meaningful. My relationship with my family has been restored in ways I never thought possible. I tried to do this on my own before, and it didn’t work. Real recovery came when I allowed others to help—when I became part of a community that truly cares, supports growth, and offers something far deeper than the life I was living before. Now I have the opportunity to help others.
