Happy Holidays from Marin Family Recovery 💗

Holidays can be tricky for Families with young adults…

Recycling this one…boundaries aren’t being selfish but they can feel selfish, especially if we’re out of practice. Feelings aren’t facts, they come from our subjective interpretations or assumptions of meaning about events we uniquely or collectively experience.

Today 8/31/23 is International Overdose Awareness Day.

Marin County…Let’s get ourselves aware:

Combatting Overdose Deaths

If you see someone you believe is experiencing a mental or behavioral health crisis, call the County of Marin's Mobile Crisis Response Team Monday – Friday 8:00am to 9:00pm, Saturday 1:00pm to 9:00pm, at 415-473-6392.

If you suspect someone is overdosing, please administer NARCAN® and call 911.

What is NARCAN®?

Naloxone (brand name NARCAN®) is a life-saving, over the counter, FDA-approved medication that is used to reverse the effects of overdoses from opioids such as he**in, fentanyl, oxycodone, and morphine. Naloxone can be administered by bystanders in two ways: through injections (like a shot) or via nasal spray. NARCAN® is the spray version, which comes two per kit.

NARCAN® Training

The Spahr Center offers FREE training on how to use NARCAN®. Contact Chris Brown (he/him), Harm Reduction Programs Manager, for more information on this invaluable resource.

Do you want to learn how to free your body from chronic pain? My dear friend Cat has dedicated her career to educating and supporting those in a human body get unstuck. Check her out! Pre-sale with perks ends today 🤸‍♂️🕺💃⛷️

Hey you reading this.
Are you interested in learning more about the human body and how it gets into pain?
I want to help you with that. (Then you can help me pick out the actual cover for the book!)
You can help me to help you by pre-ordering the FreeBody book today! In this book I teach about how trigger points, fascia, and the brain (think stress, worry, and fear) mix to become the pain we feel. It's pretty fascinating and somewhat surprising!
Did you know that pain running down the outer thigh can come from a tiny little spot in the outer hip?
Did you know that back pain can come from muscles in the belly?
Did you know that our achilles tendons are very similar to those of a GAZELLE?
Our bodies are amazing.
And once we understand a little bit about how they work and how they get messed up, we can live so much better in those bodies.
Please consider pre-ordering the book TODAY because I've got about 4 days left of the pre-sale fundraiser and I still need about 20 folks to purchase.
Thank you kindly!

Happy Safe New Year to everyone from Marin Family Recovery. Just a loving reminder…..
