Menninger Family Workshop
Family involvement in admission, treatment and aftercare planning is a central focus of the treatment approach at Menninger. One of the ways we engage families in the learning process is to offer a hospital-wide Family Workshop for the families of patients.
Learning about psychiatric, behavioral and addictive disorders helps individuals and their families understand treatments, manage symptoms and strengthen their relationships.
RSVP for the workshop:
The next workshop will be April 12-13, 2010. By April 5, RSVP online for the workshop (please register one participant at a time).
Workshop cost:
$250 per family (limit 2 participants, includes lunch). Please register one participant at a time. Payment arrangements can be made through the Admissions Office at 800-351-9058.
