I found the 'Family Therapy in Substance Abuse Treatment' course to be really helpful in my work as a counselor in Egypt. The course covered a lot of important topics, like the impact of substance abuse on family dynamics and the importance of cultural sensitivity in therapy. I liked that the course included a mix of theoretical and practical content, with lots of examples and scenarios to illustrate the concepts. One thing that really stood out to me was the discussion on the role of family members in enabling or supporting recovery - it's something that I've seen a lot in my practice, and it was great to get some new insights and strategies for addressing it. Overall, I'm glad I took the course and would recommend it to others working in the field.
