Emergency resources and online support meetings during the covid-19 pandemic

The following is list of resources and digital meetings for Unity clients for them to turn to while they are unable to attend in-person meetings due to the pandemic.

The first link is for open all-recovery meetings, which means people in or supportive of recovery from any type of behavioral health disorder or quality of life concern are welcome. No matter the program, pathway, or type of recovery you are in, this is a meeting for you. As a reminder, we typically introduce ourselves as “Hello, My name is ____ and I am a person in recovery”, but feel free to identify however is comfortable for you.
