Family Systems in Recovery
Overview
Family Systems in Recovery explores how substance use disorders affect the entire family unit and how sustainable recovery emerges when the system—not just the individual—is supported.
This course introduces core family systems theory, examines common relational patterns that develop around addiction, and highlights the roles, boundaries, and communication dynamics that shape both dysfunction and healing.
Participants learn practical, evidence‑informed strategies for engaging families, fostering resilience, and supporting healthier interactions throughout the recovery process.
Designed for counsellors and frontline professionals, the course equips learners to view recovery through a holistic, relational lens that strengthens outcomes for individuals and their families.
