Even Superheroes Face Addiction: FREE Substance Abuse Support Group

A 501(c)(3) non-profit that brings mental health and social comunity information to the superhero, sci-fi and horror fan communities.

Geek Wellness Education

A unique substance abuse support group led by our special guest - actress Yancy Butler, who starred in the hit TV series Witchblade!

Toy Lair

Iron Man is an alcoholic. Red Arrow is a heroin addict.Comic books have shown that even many of our greatest heroes struggle with addiction.Actress Yancy Butler got the role of a lifetime as the star of the comic book-based tv series WITCHBLADE. The show became a hit on TNT for 2 seasons, but behind the scenes Butler was struggling with alcohol addiction. Production on the series was halted and Butler spent years navigating the ups and downs of addiction recovery. Well into her recovery now, Yancy will be in Richmond to tell her story, and we'll have local resources for those in attendance to start their own journey to sobriety. Geek Wellness Education is a 501c3 non-profit that uses the things we love...sci-fi. horror movies, superheroes etc as a way to break the ice on important subjects. This will be a laid back, secular support group. In fact...to make things as easy-going as possible...we are hosting the event in the game room of a retro toy store!! Thanks so much to Toy Lair for giving us such a great space for people to gather. PARKING: Toy Lair has parking, and you can also park in the lots of BOTH of the businesses next to them (the smoke shop next door is closed anyway). There is also street parking behind the stores. Tickets are limited to 50 people!!! It's completely free to attend, but we want to make sure we help as many people as possible, so make sure to only claim a ticket if you are planning to attend!
