Parent Coaching Agreement

Key Points Parents Should Know Before Joining One-to-One Peer Coaching

Peer Coaches Are Trained Volunteers

Peer Coaches are trained by the Partnership to End Addiction.
Coaches are volunteers with their own lived experience supporting a family member affected by substance use.
In the role of Peer Coach, they are not acting in the capacity of licensed therapists, doctors, or legal professionals.

Peer Coaching Is Supportive, Not Clinical Treatment

Peer coaching provides emotional support, guidance, shared experience, and practical resources. Parents understand and agree that the coaching they receive through this program does not and is not intended to replace medical care, therapy, crisis services, or professional treatment.
Advice and information shared through coaching should be considered supportive guidance, not professional directives.
We do not guarantee specific results or outcomes from peer coaching.

If you feel that this is not a good time for you to commit to Coaching, you can always chose one of our other free services offered through the Partnership. Please contact our Helpline again to receive our other resources and services.

Participation Is Free and Voluntary

Peer Coaching is offered at no cost to Parents. Parent and/or Partnership to End Addiction can stop peer coaching services at any time.

How Communication Works

Coaching happens through live phone calls or text messaging exchange with a real person, a parent with lived experience.

Privacy and Confidentiality

We protect personal information of our parents

Phone Calls Are Recorded

Peer coaching phone calls are recorded for training and quality assurance purposes.
