Virtual Family Wellness Workshop: Family Roles
Addiction impacts the whole family as a system, not just individuals in recovery. Mountainside understands that loved ones who have provided unconditional love and support through difficult times may also need additional resources and support, too. So, we’ve created a free, bi-monthly Virtual Family Wellness Workshop to provide space for family members to safely ask questions, share & learn about pivotal aspects of recovery, and build a support network. This Virtual Family Wellness Workshop is offered twice a month and topics range from the “Neurobiology of Addiction” to “Healing Relationships.” You can attend all of the workshops, or pick and choose individual topics that are most relevant to you and your loved ones. Virtual Family Wellness Workshops are open to the public. Use the Eventbrite forms at the bottom of this page to donate any amount to the Mountainside Scholarship Fund to register.
This workshop will help families to better understand the impacts of stress and how each loved one can find balance for themselves, even in difficult or trying times. We’ll review the many common characteristics of people in families with high stress. At the end of this workshop, participants should be able to describe the different family roles observed in high-stress families, the specific roles they take on in their current family dynamics, and roles they occupied in their family of origin, as well as behaviors associated with these roles.
