The Family Journey; A Newsletter

The goal, as always, with the newsletter is to spark discussion, thoughtfulness and insight. By no means do we pretend that we are experts on many of the subject we present articles on, in fact most times we share pieces which we have found allow us to learn, ask ourselves questions and grow. The newsletter is shared with friends, past clients, schools, treatment programs and colleagues, but as many of you know most of you fit in multiple categories! We encourage you to spend a few minutes and challenge yourselves to read, learn discuss and share. It is only through honest self-reflection and and insight that we, societally, can grow and learn. Enjoy!
