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.

Workshop cost:
$225 per person or $400 per couple (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.

Articles referenced during the workshop:
Coping with Depression
Coping with Trauma
Cultivating Hope
Mentalizing as a Compass for Treatment
The J- Word
Why is Agency so Important?
