Three years and still going strong!

You’re not alone—and you never have to be. 💛

The Adolescent Parent Tribe exists to support families walking through the challenges of a child struggling with substance use. Here, parents find understanding, shared experiences, and a community that truly gets it. Together, we replace isolation with connection, strength, and hope—because healing is a family journey.

A message from our lead ARCH Parent Tribe Leader:
“Three years ago, this began as a small, brave gathering of parents. Today, it’s a steady, trusted space for parents supporting a child living with substance use disorder, and a place where parents do their own work, build their recovery toolbox, and strengthen themselves alongside their child’s journey.

This community exists because of your courage: showing up when it’s hard, choosing growth over control, and investing in your own regulation, boundaries, and healing. What started as a meeting has become a place of grounding, resilience, and real connection.

Grateful for the support of ARCH Academy Administration & , every parent who’s been part of this journey!”
