"We need to adapt our therapy processes for the young person and that means less traditional talking therapy and more experiential work. Viewing other people’s story via a movie creates enough of a distance, offering safety to let go of defenses to share more honestly..."

Mark Hyman Rapaport MD
Founding CEO, Emeritus, Huntsman Mental Health Institute; Former Chair at Emory, Cedars-Sinai, and UCLA
"Recovery Movie Meetup is an important new intervention that is complementary to traditional therapies because it employs carefully evaluated popular films to facilitate growth through discussion of the feelings and behaviors engendered by these stories."

Gabor Maté
NY Times Bestselling Author
IN THE REALM OF HUNGRY GHOSTS
"This is a rare morsel of inside knowledge, from one who knows, about a topic that runs like an underground theme through many films, but only recently has become a subject of public acknowledgement..."

Dr. Judith Landau, MD, DPM, LMFT, CFLE
Founder, International Recovery Institute
"Movies have always been one of my passions, and I'm delighted to join the RECOVERY MOVIE MEET-UPs Advisory Committee because I truly believe there is an important place for movies as inspiration for recovery."
