Family Program Virtual

Through a combination of lectures, educational videos, Q&A, peer feedback/support and application of new concepts, the Virtual Family Program strives to create an interactive, supportive learning and processing environment, where families are able to gain insight and skills about:

Substance use disorder and its impacts on the family
Families' reactions to the substance use and behavior in the past ("unhealthy helping")
The development of substance use disorder in youth and common co-occurring mental health themes
Creating healthy boundaries and helpful communication skills
Sources of support for family recovery
