Event Description:
The Village of New Lenox and its Safe Communities America Coalition, in partnership with Rosecrance Treatment Centers, will be hosting a FREE workshop for families struggling with substance abuse. The workshop, entitled “What Can I Say to Convince Them to Quit?” will be held in the Community Room at the New Lenox Village Hall, 1 Veterans Parkway, on Thursday April 30th at 7:00pm.
Substance abuse affects the whole family, not just the abuser. Sometimes the best course of action for those closest to the abuser is to educate themselves about the dynamics of addiction and help the abuser see and feel the negative consequences of his or her behavior.
Instructor David Lee is the founder of Indiana-based Intervention Services and Technologies, Inc., the largest intervention service provider in North America. Lee has more than 10 years of experience in Interventions, addiction counseling, family systems and recovery.
“What Can I Say to Convince Them to Quit?” is available for family members who are concerned about a loved one’s substance use. Attendees will learn ways of interacting with their loved one regarding the use of substances. Participants will hear a personal story of addiction and recovery; learn what to avoid when talking with a substance abuser; and connect with helpful resources for support, intervention and treatment.
