Addiction is a disease that affects not only the individual but significant others as well.We sometimes call addictions a family disease as loved ones also become unwell as a result of the illness.
This disease can stress the family to the breaking point, shake up the stability of home, impact mental and physical health and the overall dynamics of the family.
Family members sometimes take on roles as a result of the addiction. These various roles tend to develop in order to maintain the family secret and this becomes unhealthy. Unfortunately managing this addiction in the family requires skills.
This workshop will introduce the essential skills. Participants will learn what they can do in order to help their loved ones and also themselves. Key topics such as boundaries, assertiveness and co dependency will be discussed.
There will be intense moments of healing during the workshop. The journey of recovery for the family members will start with removal of pain and misery.
Our trainers are highly skilled professionals and come with multicultural experiences from around the globe.
Join us and learn to combat addiction in your world.
