Course Description:
CelebratingFamilies!™ (CF!) is an evidence-based, trauma-informed, whole-family recovery program. Through a cognitive behavioral, support group model, CF! introduces and strengthens the skills necessary to live a safe, healthy, and contented life. With parents in new-found recovery, the focus is preventing children’s future addiction, as well as improving the mental and physical health for everyone in the family.

- Gain knowledge and understanding about alcohol, drug and brain chemistry, domestic violence risk and protective factors and how addiction affects the whole family.
- Understand and implement the fundamentals and framework unique to the implementation of the CF! program
- Develop their own connection with the CF! material and begin planning for implementation in their organization and/or community
