Families, friends, and professionals supporting those struggling with substance use are invited to attend a groundbreaking, evidence-based approach to addiction recovery. The New Britain Public Library is hosting a free 8-week "Invitation to Change" workshop Monday evenings from 6:30-7:45 pm from October 6th through December 1st (except October 13th).
This transformative program moves beyond traditional "tough love" approaches to offer families and professionals a compassionate, science-backed framework that actually works. Based on over 40 years of research by the renowned Center for Motivation & Change and detailed in the acclaimed book "Beyond Addiction," the Invitation to Change (ITC) model has revolutionized how families can effectively support their loved ones while protecting their own mental health.
The workshop will be facilitated by Karen Bernetti, a certified Family Recovery Support Specialist trained in the Invitation to Change model, trauma-informed yoga and meditation teacher, founder of Mindful Family
Recovery, and dedicated Phoenix volunteer with extensive personal and professional experience in addiction recovery support.
