Centralized Assessment, Triage and Support (CATS) and the Women's Program are proud to host an education group for family
members
Family members (partners, spouses, siblings and children) or friends of individuals who experience mental health disorders
and/or substance use disorders face unique challenges and situations. In order to support the special role that family members
and friends play in their loved ones' lives, an educational group is being offered. The group will run once weekly from April
to June. Family members can attend any number of sessions they would like. The sessions will be 60 minutes in length. Prior
