All About This Workshop

Designed for privacy and tailored to meet the unique needs of a single family, the objective of this workshop is to establish a supportive and safe environment by encouraging authenticity, productive communication, and healthy boundaries while working through difficult issues. Family members learn how co-dependent behaviors, trauma, mood disorders, and/or addictions can impact a family system. The primary goal of the workshop is to help members bridge the gaps that have plagued the family system and develop tools to successfully enhance recovery and a relational family system.

Workshop Goals

The Family Matters workshop is important because it can:

  • Teach family members about how families function in general and, in particular, how their own family functions.
  • Help the family focus less on the member or members who have been identified as ill and focus more on the family as a whole.
  • Help to identify conflicts and anxieties and help the family develop strategies to resolve them.
  • Strengthen all family members so they can work on their problems together.
  • Teach ways to handle conflicts and changes within the family differently. (Sometimes the way family members handle problems makes them more likely to develop symptoms.)

Cost: $11,150 for up to four participants and $2,700 for each additional family member, which includes

  • meals
  • evening activities (yoga, tai chi, auricular acupuncture, live music)
  • 12-Step meeting
  • Brain Center access
  • gym access
