Out of Sight, BUT Not out of Mind: Supporting Families in Recovery
This presentation will NOT be recorded for playback review
What happens to families during recovery? What do they do? Who are they now? What do they want, what do they need, what is working, and when and how will they move forward? The question is: What's Next? What's next for families when they are forgotten in the recovery journey? What's next when family relationships, dynamics, and systems are disrupted?
This webinar will explore what it means to rediscover the family and its identity and build while in recovery. Often, we see rebuilding and healing for individuals. What does it mean for families who are also impacted by the throes of addiction and recovery?
