TL;DR — 20-second summary

Guiding Light has launched the Women's Collective, a new program supporting women in addiction recovery through community and stigma reduction. It's an expansion of services for a group often underserved in recovery programming. Details on meeting times, location, and how to take part still need to be confirmed directly with Guiding Light.

Guiding Light Launches Women's Collective for GR Recovery

Guiding Light, the Grand Rapids recovery nonprofit that's been a fixture in the city's social services landscape for years, has launched a new program called the Women's Collective. It's built for women in addiction recovery, with two aims: build real community and break down the stigma that keeps a lot of people from asking for help.

The program is an expansion specifically for women, a group recovery programming has historically underserved. For GR families touched by addiction, it's another local off-ramp — and one that doesn't require leaving the neighborhood to find.

One caveat: details are still thin. The specific site, launch date, meeting schedule, cost, and how women actually sign up haven't been confirmed yet, and we weren't able to pull those from the original source. If Guiding Light's work matters to you, this is worth a direct follow-up — and we'll update as we learn more.
