This training explores the impact of adult substance use disorders on children, teens, and young adults in the family, and ways to engage and support families affected by multi-generational substance use issues. Best practices to support youth impacted by parental substance use when caregivers have not yet committed to recovery, as well as ways to work with parents/caregivers who are in active recovery, will be explored. Resources to support both youth impacted by parental substance use disorders and resources to support parents/caregivers in need of treatment and recovery will be discussed.
This training is aimed towards anyone working with youth and young adults; prior knowledge is not required.
