Last day to register for interactive family recovery course

I have registered for this course even though I feel that in many ways, our family is on top of our situation with our son, Chris. (I hope Chris feels the same way, too.) But, I can't presume that I know everything there is to know about recovery from major psychiatric conditions and that there is nothing left to learn. I had to cobble together my wisdom over many years without access to resources that offer a positive perspective of recovery.

If you or someone you know might be interested in learning about the family recovery perspective through a weekly online course, please encourage them to consider enrolling.
