Admission prices are on a pay-what-you-can scale. We ask that you consider your financial need and intersections of your identity when selecting price in order to reserve lower rates for attendees with high financial need and those who hold marginalized identities.

Common considerations in working with an individual with problematic substance use behaviors, such as level of care, inpatient versus outpatient interventions, and utilizing a harm reduction framework
Working with a family system affected by a member’s problematic substance use utilizing a systems perspective and involving each member of the family unit in care
Providing care for someone impacted by their loved one’s problematic substance use, including adult children, partners, parents, and community members of substance users
Treating religious trauma, with special considerations for working with people living in the Southern U.S. and LGBTQIA+-identified people
