Kick off the new year with support, connection, and a fresh start. The Youth Recovery Initiative (YRI) is launching with a welcoming kickoff event on Tuesday, January 13th from 6:30–8:30 PM at LIFT’s R. Randall Rollins Youth Center in Fort Oglethorpe. YRI offers a judgment-free community for teens who are in recovery, thinking about recovery, or simply looking for a positive, understanding space. The kickoff is free to attend, dinner is provided, and there’s no pressure to talk—just come, listen, and get a feel for the group. YRI meets every Tuesday at 6:30 PM, is open to high schoolers and older middle schoolers, and enrollment is required. Recovery can mean freedom from anything unhealthy—substances, habits, or behaviors—and YRI is here to help teens move forward together.
