H.&I. (Hospitals and Institutions) Committee
of
Co-Dependents Anonymous, Inc. (CoDA)
Needs Help!
We are looking for CoDA volunteers to help support outreach in Hospitals and Institutions (H & I). If you have some time and are willing to support CoDA outreach in Hospitals and other institutions, please email the H & I Community Outreach at the address below.
Contact: hosp@coda.org
Prisons are also part of H&I Community Outreach where there is a real need to carry the message to inmates in the system. Note: Anyone entering a prison will be required to provide information for a background check and be finger printed.
Contact: hosp@coda.org
Help place CoDA Books in prisons, hospitals, and institutions. You send us $10 for a CoDA Book and an address for an institution and we will match those funds and send two books to your requested institution.
See Order Processing Procedure.
Multnomah County Department of Community Justice in Portland, Oregon-Volunteer Manager sent an email inquiring about the possibility of having a meeting started at this facility. Contact was made with a member in the Portland area with the assurance that there were members excited about pursuing this endeavor.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR THE FOLLOWING
Any CoDA Member willing to give service by phone to gather the needed information for placing The CoDA Book in hospitals and institutions please write: hosp@coda.org for more information. Those interested in placing brochures in institutions with local meeting lists may also write to the above email for more information.
CoDA Members willing to process inmates through the twelve steps by mail and willing to commit to this service for a minimum of two years please send an email to the above address for more information.
Occasionally inmates make requests for “someone to talk to” and willing to accept collect calls. Now this would be for a very special service giver! There may be ways around cutting the expense. Those interested in this avenue of service, send an email to the above address.
When inmates are released some are concerned about whether they will be accepted in local meetings. If local members are willing to help the inmates to connect and feel comfortable this would be a wonderful service. This calls for relationship with boundaries. Again, please write the above address.
If everyone working in H&I service in some capacity would send their name, email, phone, city and state so we could send them local information this would be helpful. Also it would help in putting together a database of those wanting to be on a mailing list to discuss how to improve and grow this committee in order to be more prompt in responding to requests.
