This workshop will help professionals understand why families are unable to help an addict get healthy or seek treatment without outside intervention.
The goal of this workshop is to help attendees learn new ways to work with addicts and their families.
Workshop participants will learn:
• How a family system struggles with addiction
• What the disease model is and how it works
• How emotions of family members are highjacked by the addict
• Tools to spot subtle family dynamics that may be a red flag
Free registration. Seating is limited to 45. Parking is $8.
