There are several programs that compose the offering of a Family Solution Finder Learning Centers. The reason is we want our families to run into this learning series no matter where they go within the community.
Very often we see family members that are suffering in our community living with someone who has a substance use disorder. How can we help? Maybe they would like to take some learning seminars that can help them understand the key issues they are likely to face on this journey. We won't know until we ask. It will not be there unless you start a Family Solution Finder Learning Centers. So you see it all starts with you, not them. It needs to be made available before it can exist.

We need to start to chatter around the topic of the family members and substance use disorders. It needs to become a community conversation and this needs to be done in the public forum, not behind closed doors or at special meetings. The public needs examples of how to have these type of open conversations and it will take local leadership to be the example.
