SAFE Coalition to Present Program November 7th

On November 7, SAFE will present a screening of Lisa Olivieri’s documentary, Recovery City at the SAFE Office, 31 Hayward St, Franklin. Doors open at 5:30 p.m., and the film screening will take place at 6:30 p.m., followed by discussion with Olivieri and the four women featured in the film who share their substance use recovery journeys. 
Recovery City is an intimate, unflinching portrait of four women refusing to let themselves or their community give in to the stigma and despair of addiction. Set in Worcester, MA, the film follows the lives of women reflecting different facets of addiction and recovery.
Ribbons for Recovery art installation also on display at this event! Presented by FIRST Steps Together ( https://capecodchildrensplace.com/family-support/first-steps-together/ )with the Cape Cod Children’s Place ( https://capecodchildrensplace.com/ ), Ribbons for Recovery uses material art to reveal the many paths taken toward recovery and the effort it takes to continue the journey.
