The Journey to Healing for Substance-Affected Family Members Dr. Cathy Patterson-Sterling | MC4 W6a

This uplifting workshop is designed for clinicians, front-line staff, as well as individuals in recovery and their families. It describes the impact of addiction on relationships and the methods of coping that substance affected family members will typically use in order to deal with the stress of other individuals’ addictions. Participants will also explore a five stage healing process for substance affected families which includes specific strategies for recovering from emotional burnout and other unhealthy dynamics. Dynamics of relationships change once individuals with addictions attend treatment programs. Both substance-affected family members and individuals in early recovery often continue using old strategies of relating from the addiction that are no longer helpful now in recovery. Participants will explore strategies to help both parties to change old behavioural and communication patterns.

Education objectives:
1. To recognize the impact of addiction not only on dependent individuals but on entire families.
2. To learn concrete strategies/exercises that help family members impacted by others’ addictions
