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 every other month 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 is July 28 and 29, 2008. RSVP online for the workshop (please register one participant at a time). See the program schedule below.
Workshop cost:
$250 for 2 days (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.
Attending a future Menninger Family Workshop:
We appreciate the fact that travel may not be possible at the time a loved one is in treatment at The Menninger Clinic. Family members are welcome to attend the next workshop that is scheduled. See future workshop dates.
