Workshop 1   

Based on: Celebrating Families Program
Celebrating families is a successful, evidence based 16 week curriculum that addresses the needs of children and parents, in families that have serious problems with alcohol and drugs. The curriculum engages every member of the family, ages three through adult, to foster the development of healthy and addiction-free individuals. Each session begins with a family meal. Afterwards, family members break into age appropriate groups. At the end of each session, all family members re-connect in activities to learn how to apply these new skills and interact in healthy ways.
