Online ME-WE Family Education and Support
Group Programs
WHO: Parents, spouses, siblings and extended family members who are concerned about a loved one's misuse or addictive use of alcohol, other drugs or substances.
WHAT: The ME WE Family Education and Support Group Program is designed to assist participants in making healthier choices for themselves and in response to those they love. There are two components to the program. The Education Session and the Peer Support Group.
The Education Session provides specific information covering a variety of topics to help family members understand addiction as a brain disorder not a choice, how a loved one's addictive behaviors impact the family, create disorder in an otherwise functional family environmental, and healthier ways for family members/concerned others to respond to their addicted loved one's behaviors without taking responsibility for them.
The Support Group helps participants to recognize that they are not alone. The group provides a safe supportive forum for participants to share and learn from one another's experiences. It also supports and encourages participants to practice self-care. The group helps participants to let go of the thoughts, that they somehow caused their loved one's addiction, or that they can cure it or control it.
WHEN: Participants select one of the four weekly meetings they plan to attend. The weekly meeting choices are either 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday or from 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. on Saturday. All four of the meetings can be accessed virtually with the Saturday meeting offering the option to attend in-person. The in-person portion of the Saturday meeting meets at the Cove Community Center, 12525 Lake Avenue, Lakewood, Ohio.
The groups are sponsored by:
