Family Does Not Mean Poster

This ROR original poster is so important for family members to be aware of what makes a family loving and functional and safe. We know that family dynamics can be complicated, and there can be addiction, personality, and other issues that make healthy relationships difficult, if not impossible. This poster for your private space or therapists’ walls can be invaluable to remind you and clients that getting help or support can make all the difference in your emotional health and wellbeing.
