Help for Parents | “You Are Not Alone” – New from The Partnership at DrugFree.org

A terrific new resource from The Partnership at DrugFree.org offers help for parents of children with a substance abuse problem and/or addiction. It appears on The Partnership’s new YouTube channel, You Are Not Alone.

You Are Not Alone is dedicated to the 11 million teens and young adults who are struggling with drug and alcohol problems, and to the families who struggle alongside them. Most of them aren’t getting the help they need. And the isolation and fear surrounding addiction makes it even harder.

By bringing together stories and voices from the 85 million Americans who have been directly impacted by addiction, You Are Not Alone aims to reduce the barriers that stand in the way of families getting their kids the effective treatment and recovery support they deserve.

Please watch a video, connect with a story, see yourself reflected, share your own story and join this movement. Help empower parents by lending your voice. We need you!
