Upcoming
Helping Families Heal – Treatment Through the Lens of Family Systems Theory: Friday, December 6, at 11:30 am to 1:00 pm, 2118 NUWAY Counseling Center, 2118 Blaisdell Ave, Minneapolis. Family involvement in treatment is one of the most critical factors in long-term positive outcomes. State and Federal regulations and guidelines stipulate the necessity of family engagement, however funding for family-related services is woefully inadequate. This presentation will offer some ideas for improving family services without putting untenable stress on your facility’s operating budget. Speaker: Rick Dauer, LADC. Event is free. Register through Eventbrite on November 6.
ArtLab: Discover Your Support thru Process Painting: Saturday, December 7, from 1:00 – 3:00 pm. at Art Lab Rx (on Maggie at the parking lot of Adler Graduate School), 10225 Yellow Circle Drive, Minnetonka. Life is challenging and how well we cope often has to do with the people and resources around us. We thrive best when surrounded by a supportive community. Often we either don’t recognize how much support we have, or don’t realize we need it until we’re already in a tough place. In our Discover Your Support thru Process Painting wellness workshop you will use art-making to explore and discover where your hope comes from and identify areas of potential gratitude for those who support you. There is no right or wrong to this process, you DO NOT need to be an artist. Tickets are $55 through Eventbrite.
