Shared by Joanna (ISSUP staff) - 23 April 2021
Family therapy is that treatment that is aimed at addressing specific issues affecting health and functioning. This is always very helpful to the families going through a very difficult period just like the families KYDA Rehabilitation Centre is working with, which are alcoholic families. KYDA Organization social workers and counselors always do the activity since they have got experience in child protection and alcohol harm, behavioral problems and domestic violence in line with substance use.
