Beyond Drugs: Understanding the Struggle, Helping the Healing
February 9, 2021 7-9PM (EST)
This 2-hour Speakers Series webinar can help create a compassionate understanding of why some youth and adults struggle with substance use. With a holistic understanding of this complex issue, a pathway for healing for all family members becomes clearer. We will explore the spectrum of substance use, how problematic substance use develops, strength-based interventions and the role family members and community can play in restoring health and balance.
