Free Family Workshop

2019 Family Workshop: Addiction is a Family Disease

The Family Workshop is a FREE event designed to help families learn about the disease of addiction, how it impacts the family system, and how to support your loved ones suffering from the disease of addiction. Our hope is that after this restorative and healing one day program, families will leave having built a greater awareness of the disease of addiction, themselves, and how to best support their loved one’s recovery process.
