The experience of family members and their capacity to improve all addiction-related outcomes will be discussed. Additionally\, this training will highlight gaps in current resources for family members and how education and information provided to family members can impact the treatment and recovery of their loved ones. The importance of providing evidence-based information to families will also be emphasized. Lastly\, the training will introduce concrete and simple changes to current models of addiction treatment to engage the family and leverage the invaluable support they provide to people with substance use disorder. \nIntended audience\nAll medical and non-medical staff seeking to learn about the role of the family in addiction treatment are encouraged to attend. \nSpeakers\nMatthew Heerema\, MS\, LMHC (he/him) \nMatthew (Matt) is a Clinical Research Coordinator for Boston Medical Center’s Grayken Center for Addiction Training and Technical Assistance program.
