For Children Impacted by Substance Use

Joining Forces for Children is specifically designed to support to children impacted by addiction. Knowing that children impacted by addiction are more likely to develop their own substance use disorder at some point in their life, the Family Advocate provides education and builds skills to decrease the likelihood that a young person will develop an addiction disorder. This individualized support also includes other family members to help foster recovery from the family illness of substance use.
