Facilitated by Julie Merberg
Loving someone with a substance use disorder can be heartbreaking, confusing, and deeply isolating — but you don’t have to navigate it alone.
In this interactive session, parent coach and author Julie Merberg offers a compassionate, evidence-based framework for family support, rooted in her own lived experience as a mother of four, one of whom is in recovery.
You’ll learn how to:
Understand the why behind substance use
Communicate with curiosity instead of criticism
Support healthy behaviors while setting boundaries
Rebuild connection without enabling
And apply tools that actually help — for you and your loved one
This evening is for anyone in a caregiving role — parent, partner, sibling, friend — who wants to show up with love and effectiveness. Expect honest conversation, practical strategies, and space to reflect.
Please come with questions and an open mind.
