Parenting a child grappling with addiction or experimenting with drugs can feel like navigating a storm without a compass. In this episode of Hopestream, host Brenda Zane sits down with CRAFT-certified therapist Erica Lubetkin, LMHC, to offer parents some much-needed guidance. If you're wondering how to effectively support your child, this conversation is packed with actionable advice and real-world examples.
Erica breaks down the Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT) approach, an evidence-based method designed to motivate and invite behavioral changes in loved ones. She tackles common questions from parents, covering everything from how to deal with a non-communicative child to leveraging pop-culture trends like 'hangxiety' for connection. One key takeaway? The importance of active listening and avoiding scare tactics. Instead, Erica suggests using motivational interviewing to foster positive change.
She also shares insights on handling long-distance situations and setting boundaries without escalating conflict. Whether your child lives at home or far away, these tips can help you maintain effective communication and support their journey to recovery. If you're a parent feeling lost in the chaos of your child's substance use, this episode offers a lifeline of practical strategies and compassionate advice.
