PEP Society

Today, we unveil our new marketing campaign, “Mask Off.” Our #marketing efforts over the past year have been made with the goal of erasing the stigma that people who have loved ones struggling with addictions may feel, and that goal will always inform part of our marketing efforts. But with the “Mask Off” campaign, we pivot towards growth. We want more people attending more meetings in more places, and placing more calls to our toll-free support line. We know there is a felt need for Family Recovery across #Alberta which is only growing, and PEP needs to grow along with it. This concept revolves around the felt experience of people affected by a loved one's struggle with addiction. It uses a double exposure effect to show how someone might look happy on the outside while struggling on the inside. It’s okay to struggle, but we need to face it. It’s time to take the mask off. The aim is to help people relate to these experiences, encourage asking for help, and let people know that, if they have a loved one struggling with addiction, there is support for you too. #WeDoRecover #RecoveryAB #RecoveryWorks #addictionsandrecovery #FamilyRecovery #StrongerTogether #PEPSociety #RecoveryWorks #AddictionRecovery #nonprofit #addiction #recovery #yegnonprofit #yeglocal #yegcharities #yegcharity #addictionawareness #advertising #marketingcampaign #graphicdesign #yeg #alberta

In a heartfelt reflection, PEP founder Audrey Holliday shares her journey of confronting addiction through her son’s struggle with drugs. She speaks to the realization that addiction is an indiscriminate disease, capable of affecting anyone, regardless of background. Audrey emphasizes how addiction deeply impacts not just the individual, but families and loved ones too. PEP has been instrumental in breaking the stigma around addiction, reminding us that if you are impacted, you deserve love, compassion, and support. If you’re seeking understanding and community, reach out to PEP and attend a meeting today #RecoveryAB #RecoveryWorks #familyrecovery #pepsociety

In a powerful analogy, PEP founder Tina Dow shares a story about a man saving starfish by tossing them back into the ocean, one at a time. When questioned about the impact of his efforts, the man simply said, 'It makes a difference to the ones I save.' Tina reflects on this as a message of hope for families facing addiction—reminding us that even helping one family at a time can make a world of difference. PEP is here to support you and your family. Reach out and attend a meeting to start your journey toward recovery together. #RecoveryAB #RecoveryWorks #PEPSociety #FamilyRecovery

As we celebrate 20years, one of our founders, Maralyn Benay, shares some of PEPs story

Maralyn Benay, one of PEP's founders, shares her powerful story of navigating addiction within her own family. She opens up about the self-doubt and guilt many parents face, questioning if they could have done more or if they are somehow to blame. Marilyn's experience highlights the profound impact of addiction on families and the crucial need for support. Watch this heartfelt message, and remember—families need care and guidance too in order to truly help their loved ones recover.
