The event also offered plenty of opportunities to reflect on evidence and personal experiences of successful recovery efforts through the powerful keynote presentation by Joanne Peterson, the founder and executive director of Learn 2 Cope, a successful network of family-run support groups for families coping with addiction, a dynamic panel discussion, and presentations on topics pertinent to family interventions, treatment, support, and advocacy.
