Kelly Morris & The Fallen Free perform for
free at Last House bbq:
Kelly Morris and the Fallen Free  |
Residents & staff enjoyed as well as the local recovery community enjoyed an great time of great food and grilling, fellowship and an
amazing performance by Kelly Morris, Jennifer Morris and the
rest of the band, who, yet another year running, donated their time,
talent and powerful message for a full crowd of folks in recovery,
family and friends.
There was no charge for the event but folks were kind enough to fill
the donation buckets with proceeds going to the Last House
recovery drop in center (across the street from Webster Place
on Holy Cross Rd. in Franklin, NH.
The music is lyric-driven blues/rock with driving
beats and hooky melodies that are infectious. The Fallen Free
takes the
blues and propels it forward to a sound that is new and fresh and powerfully authentic.
Kelley writes songs that have a universal
appeal while at the same time addressing many serious
issues.What makes the music different is the spirit of it. It not only
processes Kelley's own pain and joy through
the songs; but in the purest
sense Kelley seeks to help others heal from their suffering through the
universal
themes of her songs. getting stuck in
your head for hours after listening to them. In her songwriting, she is
gifted with a message of tolerance for all humanity &
fearlessly addresses such issues as recovery,
racism, sexual abuse and
poverty. On Memorial Day weekend, the band can usually be found playing at the
Half Moon Sober Festival in NH.

What it is about: The Family Healing Strategies Work Shops are authored and facilitated by Addictions consultant Diana Clark, JD.,MA. ( FamilyHealingStrategies@gmail.com 802 236 0145)
Recognizing that family members often live in a state of stress and anxiety, she provides participants
with tools they need to become & remain healthy. She does this by addressing how to set healthy boundaries,
 talking about recognizing and reducing enabling behaviors. She also reviews
acceptance and knowledge of the disease to help family members promote
change within themselves. Diana is a force of clear speech, logic and loving
acceptance ~ moving families forward to engage in behaviors which aid in the
recovery process.There is a reduced fee for WPRC families for this workshop but
the workshop is open to the public. For more info, send an email to
If there is enough interest in these workshops being held on a different day per month,
Investment: $150/ person for general public, $100/ person is for the workshop for families of Webster residents.
It is the best investment you can make towards understanding the disease of addiction, signs, symptoms, how to
support and not enable, and how to create a supportive recovery environment.The number of participants in each
workshop is limited, and we encourage you to make your reservation as soon as possible.
"Dealing with addiction in my family is not easy, but after spending the day with you,
it has become demystified in a way that coping and healing strategies have become viable.
You have a gift for delivering potentially life saving, certainly life changing, information in a
way that is clear, powerful, poignant and honest..." David
Other services offered by Diana include
Support groups for families Boundary coaching Family assessment Family system consulting

but the one most responsive to change."

From the Big Book of AA:
"We commenced to make many fast friends and a fellowship has grownup among us of which it is a
wonderful thing to feel a part. The joy of living we really have, even under pressure and difficulty."

"We follow the same path, with a single exception; our identification as addicts is all-inclusive with respect to any
mood-changing, mind-altering substance." |
