I understand that one essential aspect of supportive and thriving communities is healthy communication. Healthy communication is a lifelong task and requires commitment, skills, and a desire to hear and understand different views and acceptance of the other. One way to achieve good communication is when individuals and communities can recognize and express their feelings, needs, and wants in clear and comprehensive ways and can convey this information to others in their family, work, and community environments.

This workshop is designed for adults and teens to understand the basics of alcohol and drug use. To explore what relationship you wish to have with alcohol and drugs and find resources to gain further information.
2. On my side:
This workshop is designed for teens living with an adult that has an addiction problem. Living with someone that struggles with an addiction disorder is confusing, overwhelming, and disorienting.

The teen years are full of change, and this change can be overwhelming at times. This workshop normalizes the expected changes of adolescence and helps you find the best way to navigate these years that fits your life and values. This workshop can be tailored to adults or teens.
