My Child & ADDICTION: Parent-to-Parent Podcast Series

You Are Not Alone
Real Parents. Real Experiences

Mothers and fathers speak candidly about their journey of loving a child with a substance use disorder and other mental health conditions.

I cannot thank you enough for this podcast! I am an avid listener, having listened to most episodes twice. It has been the best tool, by far, that I've had to help me not only understand what was happening to my daughter but to navigate and understand my parental role. I appreciate the vulnerability and experience of the participating parents and the knowledge and advice from the guest experts. I cannot recommend this enough - it should be shared with parents at every treatment center. Thank you to all who make it happen - I do believe it helped save me, thus allowing me to best serve my daughter.

Addiction Impacts the Entire Family - Especially Parents

When your child struggles with a substance use disorder, parents often experience fear, confusion, and a deep sense of helplessness. Parenting a child with a mental health condition can feel isolating, trying to support your child while holding the rest of the family together.

Healing begins with honesty, hope, and connection.

Caron Treatment Centers’ ground-breaking podcast offers a powerful introduction to genuine parent support group meetings. Listen as mothers and fathers of teens to adults - some in recovery, some married, some not - share their journeys of pain, progress, and resilience.
