Inclusive Holiday Hosting

Inclusive Holiday Hosting with Sophia Recovery Centre

Final  Holiday Entertaining Tip Sheets - 1

The holidays are a time for warmth, celebration, and connection, but they can also be challenging for many in recovery or those supporting loved ones who are. This season, Sophia Recovery Centre invites you to embrace Inclusive Holiday Hosting, a movement that celebrates joy, belonging, and mindful hosting.

Creating inclusive spaces means making everyone feel comfortable and welcome, whether that’s through alcohol-free drink options, thoughtful conversation, or simply being aware of how different people experience the holidays. Small choices can make a big difference in helping others feel seen, supported, and included.

We’ve created a helpful guide full of ideas, links to recipes, and conversation tips to make your gatherings more welcoming for everyone.

Why This Matters

At Sophia Recovery Centre, we see every day how connection and community help women thrive in recovery.

When we build understanding into our homes and social circles, we help create the kind of compassionate communities where recovery can flourish.

Your participation in Inclusive Holiday Hosting helps spread that message throughout Southern New Brunswick and beyond.
