Geared towards adolescents with a family member (parent, guardian, or sibling) that experiences substance use, this program utilizes a combination of presentations, educational videos, Q&A, peer support and application of new concepts, the Virtual Family Program strives to create an interactive, supportive learning and processing environment, where adolescents are able to gain insight, peer feedback, support and skills about:

  • Substance use disorder and its impacts on the family
  • Families' reactions to the substance use and behaviors in the past ("unhealthy helping")
  • Helpful boundary and communication skills
  • Sources of support for healing
