The Impact of Substance Abuse on Family

Office/Remote Location

Virtual

Description

Substance use can affect far more than the individual - it can impact relationships, communication, trust, and the overall well-being of the entire family. In this listen-and-learn webinar, we’ll explore how substance abuse can influence family dynamics, including common patterns such as denial, enabling, and codependency. We’ll also discuss the emotional impact on loved ones, the process of change and recovery, and ways family members can establish healthier boundaries and find appropriate support and resources. Participants will leave with a better understanding of substance abuse and practical strategies for navigating its effects on the family.
