When CHAOS Comes to Town: Making Sense of Family Life in Challenging Times.

Presenter: Amie Post, MA, LCMFT

A quick scan of the newspaper headlines over the year tells us that 2021 was 'unprecedented' and 'remarkable' in the magnitude of challenge and stress people experienced. Some families are experiencing collapse and crisis like never before while others are managing. Join me for a conversation about how family members are making sense of these big questions: "how can I respond to this mess in a responsible way?", "what is the help that is helpful?" and "what does family leadership look like for me?" This presentation will report on what has been learned from families across many contexts and explore how Bowen theory provides a way to think about family functioning.
