Substance use disorder and its impacts on the family
Families' reactions to the substance use and behavior in the past ("unhealthy helping")
The development of substance use disorder in youth and common co-occurring mental health themes
Creating healthy boundaries and helpful communication skills
Sources of support for family recovery
