SUWS of the Carolinas is excited to announce the Expanding Recovery for Young People Conference returns this year for the 6th annual conference live and in-person at Kanuga Conference and Retreat Center located in Hendersonville, NC. The conference will take place September 21-23, 2022.

This year’s focus will lean towards the family system and how treatment providers can support the family while they navigate addiction and recovery of their child/loved one. Keynote speaker Jim Thomas will explore how programs and participants can “find our hearts and bring our hearts to recovery work”. Jim Thomas, LMFT, founder of the Colorado Center for Emotionally Focused Therapy, inspires therapists to show up more in the work with a different lens for looking at addiction and trauma.

This conference brings together clinicians, residential and outpatient treatment staff, and referring professionals for a time of collaboration, learning, and self-care.  All meals including Wednesday dinner and Friday lunch are included as a part of the conference fee, which varies based upon room accommodations, or Thursday-only attendance.
