Family Healing Program

Families and loved ones of alcoholics and addicts often feel confused, frustrated, angry, and helpless. The Turning Point Family Healing Program helps to alleviate these feelings and promotes healing by discussing how addiction affects families and discovering healthy ways of coping.

This three part intensive program is authored and facilitated by noted Family and Addiction Consultant Diana Clark, JD, MA. As both a specialist in addiction and family systems, Diana is a recognized force of clear thought, logic and loving acceptance – moving families to engage in behaviors which aid in the recovery process.

This powerful series educates about addiction as a disease, encourages examination of their roles in the family system and provides strategies for identifying and addressing addictive behavior. Held one Sunday every month, each workshop will focus on a specific phase of family recovery, including the tasks of each phase, its challenges, and its triumphs.
