“When a family member has a substance use disorder, spouses, parents, siblings, and children often suffer in silence, living in turmoil as household stability and unity is negatively impacted by their family member's progressive disease of addiction. If you are interested in learning how to break the cycle of dysfunctional relationship patterns associated with addiction, join us. Staela Keegan, MSW, LCSW, LCADC, facilitates this free support group which provides a confidential and psychologically safe environment for learning about: practicing self-care and non-judgmental detachment, reducing emotional reactivity, informed decision making, and resource options.”
