Virtual Family Program

Virtual

Family Program Virtual

The Virtual Family Program is intended to support the families and friends of a person struggling with a substance use disorder. Through a combination of presentations, Q&A, peer feedback and application of new concepts, the 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 behaviors in the past ("unhealthy helping")
Helpful boundary and communication skills
Sources of support for family recovery
