Rules, Guidelines and Privacy Policies of our Online Support Community

Our meetings are exclusively for parents & caregivers with teen and adult children who are experimenting or struggling with substances, or in early recovery.  

This is not a therapy group, but we do offer guidance using evidence-based techniques and we offer a connection with others in similar circumstances.

If you need one-on-one help during the meeting and it’s not a crisis, please consider our other free services for more support.  If you have an emergency during the meeting, please leave the meeting and call 911.

By completing this registration and/or participating in this community, you agree to show respect for your fellow participants and to follow the important rules, guidelines and privacy policies on this page and listed here. You also agree to receive communications from the Partnership such as meeting reminders and information about content that may be helpful to you and your family.

To protect the privacy of and ensure the best possible experience for all our community members, we reserve the right to remove attendees who do not follow our rules, guidelines and privacy policies.
