Is your life being affected by someone's addiction? This workshop is designed to help parents, significant others, family members and/or friends learn how to reach out for help, develop coping strategies and detach with love if necessary. During this time group support will be encouraged to help one another make changes that are necessary for healing. Boundary setting and enabling are two major behaviors that will be addressed. Discussions will focus on how being around loved ones with addictions affects oneself emotionally, physically and spiritually. Learning how to improve unhealthy relationships is a starting point to helping oneself and your loved one. This workshop is free and open to the public, however donations to Pillars of Light and Love are always accepted and appreciated if your budget allows.
