You Are Not Alone (YANA Center)

Has your life been impacted by substance use? Have you, a friend or a loved one struggled with addiction? You Are Not Alone (YANA Center), a volunteer/member run organization, provides a safe, substance-free environment for people dealing with addictions who wish to recover in a twelve-step environment.  We have meeting rooms, televisions, computers, wi-fi, a kitchen and a lounge area for recovery meetings (Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, Dharma Recovery, Grief Support Group, Overeaters Anonymous, Adult Children of Alcoholics, etc.), and Christian recovery,  accommodating both in person or hybrid in person/online meetings. The YANA Center has become an important recovery hub since it was founded in 2019. In addition to meeting spaces the YANA Center has hosted substance-free barbecues, pot lucks, game nights,  open mics, paint classes, holiday gatherings, Super Bowl viewing parties, and recovery related workshops.

Research shows that interpersonal connection and peer support is a critical component to substance use recovery. It is more important now than ever to support organizations like YANA, that provide a safe space for people from all walks of life to find the path out of the bondage of addiction.  

Recently. the YANA Center made significant improvements to the facility including soundproofing rooms for privacy, installing storage cabinets to secure groups' meeting materials, and in the last year we installed an HVAC system to replace an aging unit in one of our meeting spaces. These improvements come with a cost.  Your gift, of any size, will help us to recover those costs and reach our goal of 1,000 to unlock additional funds from the NH Gives Bonus Pool. Please give to support YANA, keep the lights and heat on and the coffee brewing for anyone seeking a solution. So,  just like in our programs of recovery, in your giving, you are not alone!
