Talking Tough: Bridging the Gap Between Parents and Teens on Drug Use

Trust is so important...if I'm not getting any room at all, I'm not going to want to stay sober. Because why am I staying sober if nothing's changing?
Ever felt like you're walking on eggshells when talking to your teen about drug use? You're not alone. In this episode of 'Young and Recovering', hosts Jillian and Kyle sit down with Karen Pfieffer, a Student Support and Substitute Teacher at Heartland Recovery Highschool. Karen dives into the thorny issues that make these conversations so challenging. Drawing from her own life as a parent of a child in recovery, she shares practical advice on building trust and improving communication.
You'll get a peek into the real struggles families face and learn about valuable support resources like Al-Anon. Whether you're a parent, teen, or someone supporting a loved one, this episode offers a candid look at the importance of connection and open dialogue in the recovery journey.
