Family Support Workshop: Understanding Addiction

About This Workshop

Addiction doesn’t just affect the individual — it ripples through entire families. Parents, spouses, children, and siblings often carry enormous emotional weight, frequently without knowing where to turn or how to help. This workshop was created specifically for them.

“Recovery is stronger when families are involved — but families need support too. This workshop is for everyone who loves someone in recovery.”
