A 6 hour training event with Robin Pinard, LCMHC


8:30am – 4:00pm  on November 8, 2019


PRESENTATION: This training will start with an interactive exercise, opening up the discussion about language & the perspectives of agencies, individuals and family members. We will explore the complexities of families experiencing chronic mental health and substance use disorders, emphasize the importance in understanding and acknowledging family stories, histories and expertise, and provide education on two evidence based practices which include Family Psychoeducation and the Stages of Change Model. We will discuss the dynamics that families experience when members are in different stages of change from each other as well brainstorming ways to engage members who are in the pre-contemplation or contemplation stages. Lastly, we will explore a Recovery Oriented System of Care including practical suggestions of educational, social, psychological, mental, emotional, spiritual and community-based resources that can support individual & family healing. As a result of attending this training, participants will: Review subtle aspects of collaboration between families and agencies in relation to treatment of chronic mental illness and addiction; Discuss family recovery as a process that supports the entire family’s healing process and helps improve success rates for the individual in treatment; Demonstrate application of two evidenced based practices and identify three strategies that support the inclusion of families in a Recovery Oriented System of Care; and Introduce several ways of guiding families and agencies through the recovery process, and helping all develop coping skills, improve communication and problem-solving skills.

She obtained her Bachelor's Degree in Psychology in 2007 and Master's Degree in Mental Health Counseling in 2010, both from the University of New Hampshire.
