The Reconnection Community…. support for hurting parents
Hope, Help, and Healing for Fractured Families
Are you struggling in your relationship with a non-addicted family member? Fall-out from the effects of the family disease of addiction can cause stress and strain on other important family relationships. This program is being offered as a support and resource to help adults develop new strategies to heal and rebuild troubled relationships. The format will include various options throughout the year in which to learn, including multi-media and book studies, professionally led workshops, support group, guided discussions, and a comprehensive resource list. This program will be further developed based on the needs and feedback of interested participants.
