COLLECTIVE ROOTS APG

Description

We focus on creating an environment that fosters positive peer relationships, facilitating structured activities that build community, involving families in recovery work, and serving as a hub for community recovery resources. Our main purpose is helping youth build a fulfilling life beyond just abstaining from substances. APGs promote enthusiastic recovery that focuses on making sobriety engaging and fulfilling rather than focusing on deprivation. We promote recovery as an opportunity for positive life changes through activities that build community bonds and meaningful connections.

Collective Roots APG is currently the only APG in Oregon. It was founded in 2022 to fill a need to help Portland area youth engage in recovery during a time where recovery resources were scarce. Many people have never heard of an alternative peer group. They have been around since 1971 in other parts of the country, and they have helped thousands of families heal from the effects of alcohol and substance use.
