This whole family, evidence-based program provides Indigenous Communities with the opportunity to implement a program for healing families affected by alcohol and substance use and helps children and families heal. Family recovery can be as unique and individual as families themselves. Families need knowledge, healthy skill development, and a deeper appreciation of what being a family means. Recovery includes restoring important family routines, refreshing cultural traditions, and fostering resilience and a sense of belonging.
For a version that recognizes and incorporates traditional cultural teachings and practices, consider the Wellbriety/Celebrating Families! partnership. NACoA works in partnership with White Bison to create a culturally-rich version of recovery. The facilitator implementation manual and training videos provide a framework of Wellbriety teachings that support the Wellbriety & Celebrating Families! curriculum. Contact nacoa@nacoa.org to learn more about whole family recovery, and the Wellbriety Training Institute to learn more about the partnership.
