Family Mondays in 2024
Family Mondays are 1-hour learning and support sessions open to anyone who loves someone struggling with substance use. Led by Dr. Nicole Kosanke – one of the authors of Beyond Addiction – each session covers a new topic related to helping your loved one (and yourself) from a place of compassion. Dr. Kosanke’s approach is based in psychological research and a principle of kindness, in line with all of our work at CMC:Foundation for Change and the Invitation to Change Approach.
All are welcome to attend. Feel free to join us for just one meeting, or sign up for the whole series. Sessions happen on the first Monday of every month, as well as many second Mondays. Check out the schedule and list of topics below.
