This Sunday’s programming is being offered both in-person and online.

When Kim’s family was impacted by addiction, their world suddenly became a dark and frightening place with little understanding of where to turn for help. Stigma and judgement around substance use disorders added to the fear and confusion that was growing. Kim will share the lessons she learned about changes they all needed to make, and the gifts that came from her own journey as a parent and community member.

Kim Porter, CFRS, is the Executive Director and co-founder of Be a Part of the Conversation, a nonprofit organization in southeastern Pennsylvania which creates effective, culture-changing community programs that are designed to significantly increase awareness of the effects of alcohol and other drug use. She is a Certified Family Recovery Specialist (CFRS) and is trained to help families move into and through the recovery process. Kim is the parent of someone in long-term recovery, which led her to explore the impact of addiction on families and communities and help create Be a Part of the Conversation in 2011.
