This Webinar will help participants understand the nature of addiction and its impact not only on the user but family members as well. Addiction is not a matter of choice. It is widely understood as a disease of the brain. Family members living in the midst of addiction often feel helpless and hopeless; they’ve often been through many years of an out of control cycle of addiction. It is important to understand what family members may have experienced in order to be most helpful to them in coping with grief and loss.
