With Colette Currin and an EHN Canada alumni panel
Codependency is an emotional condition in which individuals frequently ignore their own needs while constantly fulfilling the needs of others. Individuals who have experienced trauma, especially physical, sexual, or verbal abuse due to a loved one’s addiction or mental health conditions, are at high risk for developing codependency and control issues. In this first half of the webinar, Colette Currin, a qualified counsellor and the National Director of Business Development for Military, Veterans & First Responders at EHN Canada, will share her insight and expertise on setting healthy boundaries and building supportive relationships in recovery. Gain a deeper understanding of codependency and its impact on people’s mental health and addiction treatment journey.
In celebration of International Recovery Day, for the second half of the webinar, we are honoured to feature a panel of our alumni from a variety of programs across our EHN Canada network. They will be speaking to the treatment process, life after treatment, and the rollercoaster that is living in recovery. These panelists will provide insight to the real-life struggles of starting fresh and navigating a life in recovery.
This webinar will consist of a 45-minute presentation about Codependency followed by a 15-minute Q&A, then by a 1-hour panel discussion with EHN Canada alumni.
Learning Objectives:
- Explore what codependency means and how it influences an individual’s treatment journey
- Summarize the research landscape on codependency and future directions
- Understanding that living in recovery is in fact a roller coaster
- The importance of creating a community while in treatment that goes far beyond the facility
