Twelve-Step support groups are now offered online.
Below is a list of peer support recovery groups that met in Jewish communal locations prior to covid restrictions and now meet online (the pre-covid location is identified in parentheses). While we make every attempt to verify meeting information, you are encouraged to contact the group to ensure the meeting information is correct. All meetings are Closed (for those who are in or have a desire for recovery) unless specified as Open (for anyone seeking information about the particular recovery fellowship). For more information, to update meeting information, or to add a group to the list, contact JCFS Chicago: Beth Fishman, 847.745.5422.
