When family contact is harmful: fact sheet for workers (and other amazing resources)
The latest Youth AOD toolbox module brings you everything you have ever wanted to know about working with families.
Even when relationships with family members have been fraught & disappointing, most adolescents want to improve these relationships & get more care and support from their families. Furthermore, long after therapeutic relationships with workers are over, relationships with family members mostly endure, and the more supportive these can be, the more chances the young person has of achieving their goals.
The Youth AOD toolbox has published an evidence based AOD worker’s guide to working with families. Check out some of the highlights below or listen to the audio version of the resource.
