This 3-hour clinical training is designed for psychologist, therapists, social workers, and healthcare professionals who recognize that substance use never exists in a vacuum – it impacts and is impacted by the entire family system. Grounded in systems theory and evidence-based practice, this workshop explores how opiate and substance use disorders affect family dynamics, communication patterns, roles, and intergenerational functioning.
Clinicians will learn how to use Motivational Interviewing techniques to engage both individuals and families in change, address resistance, and navigate ambivalence in recovery conversations. The training will also examine common co-occurring conditions – including ADHD, chronic medical diagnoses, and the unique considerations of substance use during pregnancy – and how these challenges complicate family roles and treatment planning.
Through the lens of medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and real-world case examples, participants will learn how to address enabling behaviors, promote healthy boundaries, and support families in moving from crisis to connection. This training offers both clinical insight and practical tools to support healing across generations.
