Get Support
Join our free online support community for parents and caregivers who may have children experimenting with, or dependent on, substances.
Specially trained parent coaches who have “been there” host weekly online meetings to share guidance on addressing substance use and related issues with teen and adult children. Parents and caregivers will also find support and connection among other participants facing similar issues.
What to expect
We talk about real-life issues and offer research-based skills and resources to help you address them. Topics include common concerns such as how to talk with your child so they will listen, encouraging healthy behaviors, establishing boundaries and household rules, and the use of limits and consequences. We also discuss specific issues related to substance use, treatment, recovery and relapse.
