The Pathway Program

Supporting a child through addiction can feel isolating, overwhelming, and deeply personal- but it’s not something parents are meant to carry alone. Our Parent Support Group is designed specifically to support parents navigating this reality, offering both education and community. Through parent support groups and counseling, families are given practical tools to better understand substance use, improve communication, and rebuild trust, all while connecting with others who truly understand what they’re going through.

What makes this kind of support especially powerful is the shared experience: many parents arrive feeling like they’ve “tried everything,” only to find relief in hearing from others who have faced similar challenges and found a way forward. These groups emphasize not just helping the child, but also caring for the parent; reducing isolation, restoring boundaries, and creating a more sustainable path toward healing for the whole family.

If this resonates, you can learn more about these support resources and how they work here:
