Family Support Program
Navigating a loved one’s mental health or substance use challenges can be overwhelming. This group offers expert guidance, education, and a supportive community to help families foster healing and lasting recovery.
Program Highlights
We view the family as an interconnected system, where each member’s well-being impacts the others. When a mental health condition or addiction is present, it can disrupt these dynamics, making it challenging to break harmful patterns — even after recovery begins. That’s where our family support program becomes essential.
From the moment of admission, we guide families through the treatment process, helping them address unresolved pain and build healthier patterns of communication and connection. Through weekly sessions, virtual groups, an immersive weekend program, and targeted family restructuring, we support healing, understanding, and lasting growth.

Key Interventions
- Comprehensive family assessments to identify patterns of dysfunction + resilience
- Communication skills training
- Guided work to shift from enmeshment to a healthy emotional connection
- Structured boundary-setting practices
- Facilitated family confrontation, crisis management, and conflict resolution
- Reintegration support and discharge planning guidance

“At Lifeskills, our family program focuses on treating the whole person, not just the addiction or mental health concern. Through family counseling, education, and training, we help families understand their loved one’s recovery journey and strengthen the connection between the clients and their loved ones, supporting lasting healing.”
