Community Calendar

Relationship Recovery is a community-based non-profit organization located in Grants Pass, Oregon, dedicated to supporting individuals navigating the complexities of grief and trauma. Our mission is to provide a compassionate and understanding environment where men and women can find solace and the tools necessary to move forward in their healing journey. We have developed a comprehensive program consisting of four classes, each designed to address different stages and aspects of the healing journey.

Support - Meet others with a story to tell and realize that you are not a failure, and more importantly, you are not alone.

Transitions - After telling your story, it’s time to transition from the past and learn from it, forming a new "normal".

Boundaries - Figure out what an appropriate boundary is for family, friends, significant others, and even yourself.

Rebuilding - Work on building better relationships and a whole new life.
