Caregiver Education Sessions
Caregiver Education Sessions
These FREE addiction and mental health education sessions focus on the 3 R’s:
reduce stigma, receive information, and reflect on strategies.
Each session is intended to provide parents, caregivers, and community members with introductory information regarding addiction and mental health challenges that can affect children and youth, evidence-based research, possible treatment options, supportive strategies, and information/resources for further support. When topics are presented as a series, participants can attend one or all sessions.
