Parents and Caregivers
Being a parent or caregiver of a teenager can be wonderful yet it can be very challenging. You sometimes need support, you need someone to listen, and you need to seek advice when you are concerned about the young people in your care.
It can also be intimidating to reach out for help. Unfortunately there is still stigma associated with substance use and/or mental health issues and parents can sometimes feel that they have somehow failed if their child is experiencing problems.
Parents can access help through Addiction Services. Call 563-8632 or our toll free number for youth if this is your situation. 1-855-766-6606
