If you are a parent or parents of a teen or young adult this is the workshop for you! Are you wondering how to support your loved one? Maybe they are just entering treatment or continuing to struggle with substances and other issues, or maybe they do not want to get help. Do you feel like you have tried everything several times over and aren't sure what to do next? These 4 consecutive 90-minute workshops have been developed to specifically support you and provide you with helpful skills to navigate answering the most common questions we hear: How do I say that it? What is my role? What do I do if ...? What about me? How do I set boundaries or what boundaries do I set? We also share skills that have been proven to better your own wellbeing.

We believe that parents and family members are a vital part of this process, and we want to make sure you have the information and support needed to navigate this journey!

Healthy Relationship Workshop series is designed specifically for parents of a teen/young adult (ages 13-25) who may be using substances, or you are worried about behaviors. These workshops will focus on understanding adolescent behavior and development and how to interact effectively.
