Be a Part of the Conversation

As Substance Use and Misuse Prevention Month comes to a close, remember: prevention is ongoing. It’s in every conversation we start, every moment we listen, and every community we build.

This week, we invite you to start one meaningful conversation with someone in your life. It could be with your teen, a friend, or a fellow parent. Every conversation matters.

When someone you love is struggling with a substance use disorder, the whole family is affected. It can feel overwhelming, isolating, and exhausting.

But you are not alone.

Our Parent Partnership meetings are safe, welcoming spaces where you can connect with other parents and caregivers who truly understand what you’re going through.
Our Family Recovery Course is a three-part, peer-led series that offers practical tools, compassionate support, and space to learn alongside others on a similar journey.

This Substance Use and Misuse Prevention Month, we’re reminded that prevention also means preventing families from being isolated in pain. Together, we can heal, find hope, and build resilience.

our kids are transitioning from elementary to middle school, starting high school, planning for college, searching for their first job, or struggling to determine their next steps in life, we may find ourselves teetering on the parenthood fence.

How can we help them to launch? Are we still their caregiver? Their disciplinarian? Their problem solver? What are our boundaries?

This program will bring into focus the line between being supportive and loving, and being the rescuer/protector. We'll explore ways that our roles change as our children grow and evolve.

With special guest, Dr. Carloline Fenkel, LCSW, the Chief Clinical Officer and Co-Founder of Charlie Health this program is offered in partnership with Colonial School District and is free and open to the public.

Substance use prevention means more than saying “don’t.” It begins with understanding the unique challenges young people face in today’s world:

⚡ instant gratification
🍫 overconsumption
🎮 escapism
📱 isolation
💭 overwhelming pressure

Our 21st Century Teens program helps families and communities see these challenges clearly and respond with compassion, connection, and hope. This month, as we observe Substance Use and Misuse Prevention Month, we invite you to learn more and join us in supporting the next generation.
