Standalone 6-Month Family Education Workshop
Together We Heal is a structured 6-session, 6-month family education workshop at Valley Spring Recovery Center. The workshop operates as a standalone track. Clinical intake is not required, enrollment of a loved one in Valley Spring Recovery Center treatment is not required, and individual or family therapy enrollment is not required. The curriculum focuses narrowly on family education and peer-based skill building for families affected by a loved one's substance use. Together We Heal sits inside the broader Valley Spring Recovery Center Family Program as the education component. Family therapy with the client's primary clinician and case-manager coordination for crisis response and aftercare are delivered through the Family Program umbrella when a loved one is in active Valley Spring Recovery Center treatment.

Phase 1
