The flow of each session, one to the next, is an important part of our success in delivering this conference. The flow is the family's Journey defining each of the 12 key stress issues they will possibly face along the way. It identifies how to define the issue, how the issue impacts their family, how to prepare for the issue, who is here to help the family and what to expect as a possible outcome.  This becomes their new coping skill (how to breakdown an issue) which is reinforced by attending the conference.  They will learn how not to be victimized by this epidemic, by getting in front of these issues they will be empowered. The attendee will have 16 learning breakout seminars to choose from, a 12 member panel of experts will define the major obstacle a family faces in each of the 12 issues, and 50 booth Exhibit Hall to have one on one conversations with the speakers.  There will be "Family Ambassadors" with addiction journey experience mixed into the audience to network and share their insights their personal journey.  The four primary family support structures will be represented in the conference.  Theey too will be  learning new skills and networking:  1. City/Community professional Services, 2. Schools, 3. Churches, to include 4. The family as their most important support structure.   We seek to take breakdown the stigma, by standing together in learning  standing together in networking.
