Building a Healthy and Happy Life when Faced with Unexpected Challenges

Caring for a loved one living with a brain injury or substance use disorder adds unexpected stress for families. Susan’s workshops will address the importance of self-care and how to implement it in daily life, how to strengthen relationships at home through positive communication, and recognize what truly makes for happiness. These two fun and interactive sessions will utilize tools and resources to help balance a life that may otherwise feel upended.
