Dothan, Al. (WDNews) – Wiregrass Daily News caught up with Dothan’s Social Services Coordinator, Stephanie Harden, to talk about Supporting Our Souls (SOS), a new support group for families impacted by addiction.
Unlike treatment programs, SOS is designed for the parents, friends, and loved ones of those battling substance abuse and addiction. The group offers a safe, judgment-free space where participants can share experiences, find encouragement, and learn healthy boundaries.
Harden, who has personal experience as the mother of a child struggling with opioid addiction, said SOS aims to reduce isolation and stigma. “Families often feel helpless and alone,” she explained. “This group reminds them they aren’t.”
SOS is backed by the nonprofit Wiregrass Gives. More information is available at wiregrassgives.org or by email at [email protected]
Meetings are held Thursdays at 5:30 p.m. at the Pier Building on Wise Drive, with Harden hopes to expand the program with guest speakers and community resources.
