Cornerstone CARES Speaker Series: United in Recovery
Welcome to our Cornerstone CARES speaker series, an initiative launched in collaboration with The Texas CARES Program and the Steve Hicks School of Social Work at the University of Texas at Austin. Starting at Cornerstone Church ATX, our series aims to reach communities nationwide, fostering a nurturing environment for families touched by addiction. Through these sessions, we’ll share personal stories, expert insights, and evidence based strategies to support individuals and families on their path to recovery. Join us as we build a compassionate community dedicated to healing and hope.
