Building your Toolbox: Working with Families with SUDs
As we move from the hustle and festivity of the winter holidays, families and communities may be experiencing increased stress related to substance use or misuse. Come along with the Illinois Family Resource Center to explore the family dynamics and chaos they may be feeling when a loved one is experiencing substance use disorder (SUDs). The family, especially children, often struggle with their own fears, behaviors and a search for safety in response to the impact of living with or caring about a loved one with SUDs and mental health issues. “Tools” for responding to the issues that may be presented in the role of CASA will be shared. Explore resources and support for our families and our communities on their recovery journey.
