May 2021 Membership Café: Celebrating Women in NADA
About the Event
Together we learned about the first peer-based recovery program for pregnant and parenting women at Lincoln Recovery Center called SISTERS, active in the mid-1990s. We also heard about NADA services that ran at the Denver jail from 1993-2001 for incarcerated women, modeled on the NY-based SISTERS program. And a representative from Canoe Journey Herbalists shared about their current work with the NADA protocol in the coastal Salish culture in Washington and Oregon.
