Whether our kids are just 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 also explore ways that our roles change once our child leaves home.

Sometimes we receive anonymous story submissions for our blog. Read today's story from a parent who has found healing by pursuing her own recovery journey:

"I came to understand that my approach to helping my daughter had no effect because her use of drugs and alcohol was not a choice. Just as she never made a choice to become addicted, she could also not simply choose to stop... Her sickness needed the help of professionals, and the support of others fighting the same battle. The same was true for me."

"The persons who are most willing and able to advocate for accessing care, for changing some of the family dynamics, are the folks who are not immediately impaired by an addiction or a mental health issue. The people who usually ask for help are not usually the people who most need it. It's the people who are most able or capable of asking for help."

Join us in-person on Friday, April 3, 2026, from 9:30 - 11:30 for this free program! Register at https://conversation.zone/event/healing/

Anyone emotionally invested in a person with a Substance Use Disorder (addiction) is at risk of experiencing trauma. Parents, in particular, may have lost sight of their own wellbeing in an effort to coax or manage the recovery of their child. The stress of seeing someone you love live with the pain of addiction can be devastating. Emotions including grief, rage, depression, shame and fear can take their toll on family members’ health and relationships.

This program will explore opportunities for family members to heal, embrace healthy changes, and sustain recovery for themselves.

Funded by Center for Families and in partnership with Root To Branch, this important program is presented by Sara Green, a clinical psychotherapist.
