The Los Angeles Intergroup 12th Step Committee meets quarterly to carry the message to the sexual compulsive who still suffers. The core members are the coordinators for Hospitals, Institutions & Professionals (HIP); Legal Outreach; Public Information; and Workshops. The rest of the committee is made up of other interested SCA members.
As HIP Coordinator (Hospitals, Institutions & Professionals), I participated in the quarterly 12th Step Committee meeting on October 12th. We discussed strategies for getting SCA outreach materials into local LGBT Pride Festivals by putting our materials at a booth run by a relevant institution such as the Sexual Recovery Institute, the Center for Sexual Health, or Del Amo Hospital. Anyone with connections to one of these or a similar institution with a booth at Pride should let me know so we can plan to follow up. (scalosangeles.org/contact)
Our other current HIP project is to put together a mailing to about 100 local mental health facilities. Several volunteers have started looking up addresses to make a mailing database. We plan to mail a batch of letters at the next quarterly 12th Step Committee meeting tentatively scheduled for Saturday, January 11th at 11am at Plummer Park, West Hollywood, California.
