Holidays and family gatherings can be times of joy and togetherness … but also sources of anxiety. It’s helpful to know we have options. There are things we can do to help us navigate a time of year that often brings added stress to family recovery.

Join us to hear from a panel of seasoned FA members who will share their family gathering experiences, unpack ideas for dealing with our emotions, and leave you with encouragement and understanding for your own journey through the holidays.

Learn best practices and proven tips from fellow FA members who have had great success at sharing Families Anonymous in their community.

Key concepts from this newly-released e-resource are highlighted, ideas for getting started are offered, social media strategies are shared and community outreach options are covered.

Have you ever struggled with setting appropriate boundaries with family members, friends or others? Do you feel unsure or confused about how or when to say “no”, “maybe”, “not now”? Do you try to set boundaries but then have difficulty maintaining them? Or do loved ones accuse you of being controlling?

If you can relate to any of this, please watch the Families Anonymous online education session featuring Betty Hill Crowson, life coach, retreat director and author (TheJoyisintheJourney.com). Returning for a second time, in this new presentation Betty will bring some much-needed clarity, humor and concrete suggestions to help us maneuver through this complicated subject. She will outline a boundary “toolkit” which will not only enable us to identify and stop trying to control people, places and outcomes, but also empower us to learn how to have an appropriate voice which can set healthy limits for the good of all.
