About this event
When someone you love is experiencing problems due to their substance use it can feel overwhelming. You probably have heard all kinds of advice like using “tough love” or letting them “hit rock bottom”. There is another way. This talk will review science-based approaches to supporting a loved one to make change more likely- as well as helping yourself. Family members and friends can- and do- make a difference. Low and no-cost resources for further support will also be shared.
Registration deadline: Thu, Feb 16, 2023, 7:00 PM
