The concept of Cor began when we collectively asked: “What if we had had a professional organization that could have addressed our past trauma and our four generations of addiction? What if we had had a professional organization that could have helped us — not just individually but as a family — to break the cycle and allow the entire family to heal?” Having watched numerous friends and loved ones drown themselves in addiction, we realized that – metaphorically speaking – trying to fish people out of the river was not effective. We needed to go upriver and keep them from falling in the river in the first place. Thus, Cor was formed in the spirit of helping families address their unique needs, in creating a supportive environment for the entire family to move forward and work together to prevent any member from falling back in.
