The thing that I'm curious about- you said the kids are elusive, like my listeners are family members. So would you rather them find out somehow, or would you rather them kind of have information that you can give them? It actually decreases their likelihood of following in those footsteps.
Ever wondered how to talk to your teens about addiction without adding to the stress? In this episode of 'The Embrace Family Recovery Podcast', host Margaret Swift Thompson introduces a new resource from the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation Family Program. She’s joined by Jessica Garrison and Lindsey Chadwick to discuss their Virtual Family Program for Adolescents. This program aims to educate young people about addiction in their families, providing a safe space for open conversations. It’s a tricky subject, right?

Whether you’re a parent, guardian, or someone who loves a teen affected by addiction, this episode provides valuable insights into making these tough conversations a bit easier.
Tune in to discover how early education on addiction can foster resilience and well-being in young people.
