Join our Family Support Group as we discuss important strategies for families who have a loved one struggling with a substance use disorder. We know first-hand that addiction and/or mental illness impacts the entire family. Connection with others who have lived similar experiences helps us learn from one another and support each other through difficult times.
This Family Support Group closely follows the "Invitation to Change" approach which was developed by the Center for Motivation and Change (CMC), a national organization made up of researchers and clinicians who use evidence-based strategies to help families better interact with their loved one who is struggling. Not One More Alabama (NOMA) strongly supports the CMC approach of: SCIENCE + KINDNESS = CHANGE.
All participants of NOMA's Family Support Group receive a copy of the 20 Minute Guide which was created by the CMC for parents, partners, friends and family members who want to help a loved one change their relationship with substances. This program is for adults age 18 or older. No childcare is provided. You are welcome to bring a drink or snack.
Special thanks to St. Thomas Episcopal Church for inviting us to use their facility for this important support group. Other activities are taking place at the church on Wednesday evening so just look for the NOMA signs for directions on where to enter. We look forward to seeing you!
