In recognition of Dove House’s 25 Anniversary: 25 years of Heart Work, we are pleased to announce the launch of the Heart Work Book Club, an opportunity to elevate the discussion about and reduce the stigma surrounding substance use disorder. The Heart Work Book Club is sponsored by Merchants Bank of Indiana.
The Dove House Heart Work Book Club is an opportunity for readers who want to learn more about substance use disorder and recovery to dive into books that deal with:
Individual lived experience with substance use disorder
Family experience of substance use disorder
Clinical considerations about substance use disorder
Social Media Conversations
Follow DRH on Facebook, Instagram or join the public Heart Work Facebook group for weekly questions for conversation.
Community Lunch and Learns
Got a group of readers? Dove House will attend and lead up to 4 community lunch and learn book discussions (per book) with your staff, organization, or group. Lunch and learns are limited to Central Indiana and Dubois County, Indiana.
Our selection for March is The Many Lives of Mama Love: A Memoir of Lying, Stealing, Writing, and Healing by Lara Love Hardin. A favorite of Dove House CEO Wendy Noe, The Many Lives of Mama Love depicts the author’s slide from soccer mom to opioid addict to jailhouse shot caller and her unlikely comeback as a highly successful ghostwriter in this harrowing, hilarious, no-holds-barred memoir.
A new book will be introduced for the months of March, May, July, October, and November.
Empowering women to become substance-free, self-sufficient, and healthy, by providing safe housing, quality programming, and – above all – hope for the future.
If you or a loved one is seeking help in recovering from substance use disorder, please call 317-964-0450 to learn more about scheduling an assessment.
