2024 Virtual Family Speaker Series!

12-week Virtual Family Speaker Series

Registration will remain open throughout the series, click here to register.

Just as addiction is a family disease, recovery is a family process. As recovery principles and the 12-steps have guided millions of people to begin and continue their journey of recovery from substance use disorder, countless family members have also found serenity, strength, and a new way of life through working their own recovery programs.

The Family Speaker Series aims to open a dialogue and provide learning on various family recovery topics and provides a valuable opportunity for families to connect, learn, and grow together.  Spanning 12 weeks, each session will focus on a core principle of recovery featuring a family member's own experiences.  Participants will also have the opportunity to share and ask questions.
