AGENDA

Have you ever had this thought "Ugh, if my client's mom/partner/boss would just get out of the way, then my client could recovery?" or "Why does my client keep succumbing to their family's pressure that interferes with their recover? Why don't they just stop listening to them and find their own voice?"

If you have been frustrated, overwhelmed or at a lost with what to do with your client's parents, partners, friends and co-workers, then this training is for you. Recovery is a relationship issue. At first glance, we are able to see that it is a relationship issue our clients have with their own mind, body and emotions. But this relationship to themselves exists within in larger relationship context: their family, their friendships, their romantic relationships, their communities of work and participation, as well as their relationship to culture and society at large.

As clinicians, we must learn how to help our clients incorporate the relationships they live within into the recovery process because that is exactly where living, and thus recovery, takes place. It's a disservice to our clients to promote the patriarchal idea that we exists as individuals and thus one's recovery is a solo endeavor.

Join us on March 6th to learn the foundations of seeing recovery from a relationship system and intersectional lens. Turn the dread and helplessness of dealing with your client’s relationships into the joy and power of incorporating your client's relationships into the recovery process. You’ll walk away with refreshed understanding, tools and motivation to incorporate The Missing Link - Your Client’s Relationships, into your recovery plan with your clients.

If we want the world to be a safer, kinder place for all bodies and all abilities to live empowered and free, then serving and equipping the people our clients relate with is a must.
