    Description
    This course is designed to teach potential counselors how to recognize the characteristics of adult children of alcoholics. Students will examine their own upbringing and study the traits of healthy and unhealthy families and how those parenting styles lead to co-dependency and issues with maintaining boundaries in adult relationships. Effective methods for changing behavior through the reprogramming of family roles and setting healthy boundaries will be taught. Students will also be taught healthy parenting approaches. This course fulfills one 3-unit skills requirement for the California Association for Alcohol/Drug Educators (CAADE).
