Family members play varied roles in the lives of adults with mental
illness or substance use disorder. Many family members provide emotional,
social, and instrumental supports, including help with money, housing,
child care, and transportation. Family members often help their loved
ones to access and navigate services, and face unique challenges as they
do so. Increasingly, organizations are recognizing that supporting
families is an important part of supporting individuals in or seeking
recovery.
SAMHSA’s Bringing Recovery Supports to Scale Technical Assistance Center
Strategy (BRSS TACS) invites you to join national experts in a
conversation about the experiences of families as they support their
loved ones.
Please join us for
