Claudia Black Presents Family Matters – Intervening with Children in Addictive Families
ESD 123 - 10/07/08
Pasco, WA – ESD 123's Prevention Center is proud to host "Claudia A. Black: Family Matters – Intervening with Children in Addictive Families" on Tuesday, October 14 from 9 AM to 3 PM at the Pasco Red Lion. Internationally renowned lecturer, author, and trainer Claudia A. Black, M.S.W., Ph.D. presents this one-day opportunity for educational, counseling, and healthcare professionals on models of intervention and treatment.

Alcoholism, drug addiction, compulsive disorders, depression, emotional and physical abandonment, and family violence leave scars that can last a lifetime and challenge the educational outcomes of our children.

Recognizing the legacy of trauma that relates to growing up with addiction, Black addresses the multitude of ways in which one can intervene and support young people to move beyond the familial script, and find greater choices in their lives.

"Family Matters – Intervening with Children in Addictive Families" takes place October 14 from 9 AM to 3 PM at the Pasco Red Lion located at 2525 N. 20th Ave., Pasco, WA 99301. For more information, contact Diane Shepherd at 509.544.5761 or at dshepherd@esd123.org.
