“Kenneth’s teaching regarding the ‘wounded family’ truly was one of the best tools for our growth and spiritual healing I’ve ever experienced. The workshop was delivered perfectly with some fun and a sense of humor. I highly recommend this workshop to ALL families, even if you don’t have an addict! The entire group bonded beautifully and I feel we made many friends and have a new support system. Thank you!”
