Patient and Family Workshops
Structured, recovery-focused education for individuals and families
Wise Recovery Patient & Family Workshops offer guided education and shared learning for people living with mental illness and the family members who support them. These workshops focus on building understanding, strengthening connection, and supporting recovery across different stages of the journey.
These workshops help individuals and families develop shared language and understanding - about their experiences, their goals, and the mental-health systems they are interacting with - so they can engage more confidently in conversations, appointments, and decisions about care.
Patient & Family Workshops will be offered as live virtual and in-person events.
