Program Description:
This seminar will examine the centrality and impact of families of origin and other constructed “families.” It will explore means of working in partnership with family members rather than continuing cycles of blame and misunderstanding. The importance of creating a welcoming atmosphere will be emphasized. The particular and valuable expertise of family members will be discussed. “Enabling,” “codependency,” and “rescuing” are among the terms to be reviewed and reframed. Connecting families with systems for meeting multiple needs will also be discussed.
Educational Objectives:
At the conclusion of this program participants should be able to: 1. Examine the role and dynamics of the family, in terms of human development, culture, and society; 2. Explore both the benefits of, and barriers to, working in partnership with family members and significant others; 3. Identify ways in which treatment and service providers may bring personal biases into work with family members/significant others, including the feelings and thoughts that support these biases; 4. Discuss steps needed for meeting family members/others in welcoming and respectful ways and involving them as collaborative team members; 5. Review means for acknowledging both helpful and unhelpful behaviors on the part of family members/others without blaming, and for offering alternatives for reducing risks to the person having co-occurring disorders and the family.
Target Audience:
This program is directed toward clinicians and other professionals from both the mental health and substance abuse treatment fields who work with individuals with co-occurring disorders.
