Family Education Program
Focus on Prevention, Education & Empowerment
Drug misuse does not only affect the person using, but the dynamics of the person’s family as well.
Our Family training is designed to educate families on how they should proceed when helping a loved one struggling with substance misuse and what they can possibly expect along the way. Self-help and recovery resources are also made available to people with substance use disorder and families.
