In this episode of 'Family Addiction Coaching', Patrick Doyle and Laurie MacDougall dive into the REST (Resources, Education, Support, Together) groups—a transformative, free programme designed to help families navigate these tough times. They share heartfelt stories and practical advice on how to communicate effectively, set boundaries, and understand the delicate balance between helping and enabling.
