Stand united for hope and healing
Addiction touches people in different ways. For that reason, we’ve created three faith-based support groups to help family members who've been affected by the addiction crisis.
The Well support group offers a place of hope, healing, and restoration. This group helps families cope with the loss of a loved one to an overdose or addiction. The Well support group meets on the 1st & 3rd Wednesday of each month from 6:30-8:00pm at Tyler’s Redemption Place located at 2684 Sanitarium Road in Akron, Ohio.
FOR MORE INFORMATION ON THE WELL, CONTACT SHELLY: 330-414-5960 OR SHELLY@HOPEUNITED.LIFE
Hope United co-founders, Shelly Bornstein and Sue Warner, have received their Compassionate Bereavement Care Certification® from the Center for Loss and Trauma and are a CBC approved provider for support listed on the Miss Foundation website.

Love Bears All is a program of outreach for children who have lost a parent or family member to an overdose. We launched our first project in November of 2017 with a "Love Bears All" teddy bear program to comfort children who lost a loved one to addiction. Our bears are distributed via local organizations in the Tri-County area. Each teddy bear is hand-stuffed with love by individuals directly impacted by the addiction epidemic and dressed in a "Love Bears All" t-shirt. A hand-written note and brochure with recommended resources to help children cope are also included.
Hope United understands what it's like to live with, and ultimately, lose a loved one to addiction.
