Quotes

You can’t just teach a skill, you cant just present something and say good luck. There has to be some integration of it. And that’s where the magic happens. This is where our clients are at most risk for relapse, this is why we have IOP because there needs to be that extra support. But there is also relapse for families. So for families that are learning these skills as well…so the workshops are about the practical aspect, putting it into action, families have had some experience now.”
– Pema White, MSE, CAS, LPC, Primary Therapist
