The ABCs
The ABCs of Family Resiliency™
Expertly Facilitated Intensives, Workshops and Weekend Retreats
Board Certified Child, Adolescent and Adult Psychiatrist, Family Renewed Founder and Lead Presenter, Dr. Dawn M. Porter, has personally navigated a blended family with her military husband and has developed The ABCs of Family Resiliency™ with you and your family in mind. For the adults in the family, the virtual or in-person intensives, workshops, and retreats for individuals and couples provide a strong foundation of communication skills necessary for increasing understanding and interaction among family members.
Our weekend family retreats, created with the entire family in mind, offer more interactive activities to demonstrate effective ways to communicate and connect with others. Each participant will receive developmentally appropriate program books that include information, strategies, and tools to help address the demands unique to each family member. Additionally, homework is assigned to provide opportunities for families to expand communication and utilize strategies learned during the sessions. In addition to accommodating a specific focus or theme, this comprehensive program can offer quarterly updates to help high-risk families reassess their progress and provide specific suggestions to identify additional needs for their recovery.*
Conflict and Technology – Are They Interfering With Your Family’s Communication?
Today's technological advances make it “easier” for families to connect, but not always on the interpersonal level that healthy families need to thrive. The ABCs of Family Resiliency™ provides you with six simple strategies to help your family navigate the challenges they will face today, tomorrow and into the future.
The ABCs of Family Resiliency™
Family Renewed Workshops and Weekend Retreats use The ABCs of Family Resiliency™ to present an alternative strategy to address the issues facing today’s families. Moving away from the mainly didactic interventions, this program promotes a more experiential and interactive method for addressing family challenges. Our high-tech, fast-paced society provides innumerable conveniences and even more distractions. The ABCs of Family Resiliency™ provide strategies to help families flourish despite the daily diversions.

Intensives
Our virtual and in-person intensives are designed for those of you who are always on the go and don’t have a lot of time to make everything work. That soccer mom or dad who is running one kid here, another kid there, and can barely find time to stop and eat. You choose between a 60-minute virtual event or a 90-minute in-person event. If you like short, sweet, and to the point, choose virtual, and if you like more collaborative, interactive, and hands-on, choose the in-person format. Either way, you will leave the intensive with simple strategies and a plan to kick-start your journey to becoming your best selves.
