Boundaries are a good place to start if you’d like less frustration and walking on eggshells with your child or loved one who misuses substances. But boundaries may be a new concept, or you haven’t figured out how to make them work. If that’s the case, this workshop is for you.
this course will help you:
- Learn what healthy boundaries are - and aren't
- Learn the difference between ultimatums and boundaries
- Understand the different styles of boundaries and which is most effective
- Develop a boundary that's rooted in your values and motives
- Craft the message around your boundary so it isn't a threat or punishment
- Know when the ideal time is to communicate your boundary

About your facilitator
Dina Cannizzaro
About Dina:
My name is Dina Cannizzaro. I’m the mother of three adult children, ages 35, 29, and 26. My middle son, Parker, is in recovery from a harrowing nine years of using drugs and has been in active recovery from IV heroin use for almost six years.
I was a high school teacher, counselor, admissions director, and Vice Principal for 36 years and recently retired to pursue my passion for helping parents who’s kids struggle with substance misuse. My goal is to “get the word out” about drug addiction being an equal opportunity destroyer that can happen to any family.
I hope to help parents create boundaries they can live with while maintaining a healthy and loving dialogue with their children – no matter their age or the drugs they use. I believe each story is different and may require a unique approach. I also believe each parent handles their child’s Substance Use Disorder in their way and in their own time.
Most of us need tools we learn along the way that can help us live through the chapters of life with a child who suffers from SUD. If we can help each other and share learned knowledge, we will all be better for it. I can’t wait to share with you and learn from you.
