Life happens in relationships, and sometimes, those we love are facing challenges we have no idea how to navigate.
You deeply desire to be empathic and supportive, yet their choices are painful to watch and may even be destructive to experience.
The Friends & Family Group will encourage you as you continue in your relationship with your loved one who is struggling.
Education and structured support are the goals of this group; however, previous group members report the number one benefit of the group is community.
Join us, and we’ll get through this together.
This group is for you if you have a loved one engaging in problem behaviors such as:
- Drug and alcohol use
- Sexual acting out behaviors
- Eating disorder behaviors
- Gambling and shopping
- Gaming
- Compulsive work habits
Additionally, if you are in a relationship with someone who suffers from a pervasive mental illness you will find this group helpful in many ways.
You are not alone.
Based on the highly effective CRAFT model of treat, this 12-step alternative group will provide you with communication tools, social support, and an individualized coaching plan to help get your loved one into recovery and take back control of your life.
