Addiction impacts entire families. If you’ve felt powerless watching a loved one battle alcohol, opioids, or other high-risk behaviors, help and hope are closer than you think.

This November, the Essentia Health Foundation, in partnership with Range Mental Health Center, CAPE Coalition, and St. Louis County Public Health invites the community to Understanding Addiction: Renewing Hope, Restoring Families—a dynamic workshop that teaches families how small changes can spark big results.

Led by Thrive! Family Recovery Resources, these interactive events replace fear and frustration with actionable, science-based strategies that truly work. Through compassionate responses and positive reinforcement, participants will learn how to improve family dynamics, encourage healthy choices, and create connection without losing themselves in the process.

Free Family Workshop Series

Each workshop offers the same content. The workshops run from 5:30–7:30 p.m. and include a free light dinner. Workshops are free, but registration is recommended for the meal count.
