CEA-HOW is committed to making recovery available to all members, regardless of physical, sensory, or cognitive challenges. While each meeting is autonomous, many are able to accommodate specific needs.

How to check if a meeting meets your accessibility needs

If you or someone you know has accessibility needs (e.g., blindness, hearing impairment, wheelchair use), we encourage you to contact the meeting directly to confirm whether it can meet those needs (e.g., are there stairs, is there an accessible entry, etc.).

You can find meeting contact information by using our meeting finder.

Each listing includes the meeting contact person’s name and full contact details.

Also note: we offer many virtual and phone meetings. If attending in person isn’t possible, there’s still plenty of recovery available by phone or online.

If you have difficulty reaching a meeting or getting your questions answered, please contact us. The Special Needs Committee is here to help you find a meeting that works for you.
