Jaywalker - Muirwood San Francisco CEU

Join Jaywalker’s Director of Family Services Kevin Petersen LMFT, and Muirwood's Director of Family Services Rawly Glass LCSW for his in person and live streamed CEU Event. Moderated by Hopesteam Community Co Founder and Community Director, Cathy Cioth.

Don’t miss the opportunity to learn from these respected leaders who bring decades of clinical expertise, compassionate insight, and a deep commitment to supporting individuals and families in recovery.

This course is designed to equip mental health professionals with a deeper understanding of how family system dynamics, relational patterns, and environmental influences directly impact the development and maintenance of substance use disorders and other addictive behaviors.

Participants will examine how family roles, communication styles, boundaries, and relational stressors manifest in clinical presentation, how maladaptive coping strategies become reinforced within the family system, and how these dynamics shape treatment resistance, motivation, and relapse vulnerability.

Through an exploration of both theory and applied practice, clinicians will learn how to:

• Identify family-system patterns and relational behaviors commonly seen in individuals with substance use disorders.
• Understand the developmental and relational links between family functioning, emotional regulation, and addiction.
• Recognize how family roles, boundaries, and intergenerational dynamics reinforce addictive cycles.
• Integrate family-systems-informed interventions into assessment, treatment planning, and family work.
• Strengthen therapeutic alliances by improving communication, restoring healthy boundaries, and supporting structured relational repair.

By connecting the “why” behind client and family behaviors with actionable, family-systems-informed clinical strategies, this training empowers clinicians to more effectively support individuals and families on their path to healing and lasting recovery.
