Helping Providers Help Families – October 8:
Training mentors, coaches, teachers, therapists, first responders, clergy and administrators to support stressed families and/or families coping with a loved one’s substance use disorder. Saturday, October 8 at 1:30 PM – 3:00 PM, at Jenna’s House on 117 Saint Johns Road, Johnson. Snacks provided. Free, registration requested.
Teaching Coping Techniques to Families – October 9:
One in three families have a loved one struggling with a use disorder. Pouring one’s life into helping a loved one suffering from a substance use disorder carries its own risks to one’s own physical, financial and mental health. Impacts can include anxiety, and sometimes unrelenting depression. Learn evidence-based techniques such as acupuncture, acupressure, biofeedback, and other emotional self-regulation techniques to swiftly de-escalate a difficult situation by decreasing stress and anxiety.
Sunday, October 9, 4 – 5:30 PM at Rock Point Center on 20 Rock Point Road in Burlington. Free, registration requested.
