About this Event

Hope for Recovery

A four-hour workshop where participants learn about anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, depression, schizophrenia, and co-occurring disorders, including the diagnostic assessment process, treatments, and recovery. Participants will also learn about crisis management and suicide prevention, tools for healthy relationship building while helping a loved one, and local resources.

This workshop is for family, friends, and loved ones of a teen or adult living with a mental illness and not for professional development or observation. Led by trained family members who have been there, this workshop includes presentations, discussions and interactive exercises, as well as support and connection among peers. A workbook is provided to participants to complete exercises and journaling during and after the workshop.
