WEBINAR DESCRIPTION:
The literature and national statistics tell us that many adults who misuse substances are parenting, and that being a parent can present strong motivation for substance use recovery. The intersection of parenting and substance misuse offers a unique and powerful opportunity for intervention that impacts two generations. The opportunity can be maximized by engaging parents utilizing approaches informed by early-childhood mental health and attachment and by the neurobiology of recovery.

WEBINAR DESCRIPTION:
Parents and caregivers often avoid difficult truths, believing they're protecting their child-yet this avoidance leaves children confused, lonely, and disconnected from their own stories. This session will give you the tools to help families break through the silence, speak the unspeakable with sensitivity, and build narratives that restore safety and connection.
