I cannot thank you enough for this podcast! I am an avid listener, having listened to most episodes twice. It has been the best tool, by far, that I've had to help me not only understand what was happening to my daughter but to navigate and understand my parental role. I appreciate the vulnerability and experience of the participating parents and the knowledge and advice from the guest experts. I cannot recommend this enough - it should be shared with parents at every treatment center. Thank you to all who make it happen - I do believe it helped save me, thus allowing me to best serve my daughter.

Addiction is a family disease. The My Child & ADDICTION podcast series features parents who share how they are coping with the challenges of parenting a child with Substance Use Disorder. The group includes mothers and fathers — some of whom are in recovery, some who are married and others who are not — with children in their teens through adulthood. Since the series began in 2017, the mothers and fathers of the group have been joined at each meeting by a Caron Treatment Centers professional to provide invaluable clinical guidance. The group has tackled dozens of topics related to coping with addiction and the impact on the entire family.
