 Parent Support 

Our Parent Support & Education Groups meets every Tuesday (North Metro), Wednedsay (South Metro) & every other Friday (South Metro) at 7:00 pm.  They are  free of charge to any parent who is concerned about their child's drug use, even if they don't have a child enrolled in our program.

  • The support group meetings are guided by our family coordinator and parents who have overcome the challenges related to parenting a teenage drug abuser. 
           It is a nurturing, accepting, and dynamic group with real answers. 

  • The parents and staff at FWC understand the frustration, fear, guilt, and anger that you may be experiencing, as the parent of a child who has abused drugs. 

  • We know what it's like, because we've been there before. 
    No one will criticize, blame or question you. 

Best of all, we have answers that work! 
How do we know they work? 
Because they have worked for us!

In addition to our regular parent meetings, parents have the option of attending our parent education series, "The Revolutionary Parent", which meets at 7:00 every other Tuesday & Wedneday nights.  We cover a variety of topics including:
  • Use, Abuse & Dependence in Adolescents
    An overview of the use, abuse, dependence continuum, how young people become drug-dependent, why they are at greater risk and what can be done about it.
  • Relapse Triggers & Cues
    What causes drug cravings?   What can be done to recognize and avoid relapse triggers?  How can parents help their teens avoid relapse?  Understanding "triggers and cues" is the first step.
  • Enabling & Expectations
    Exploring the definition and dynamics of enabling.
  • Family Dynamics & Roles within the Conflicted Family
    Substance abuse affects the entire family.  This session explores the roles adopted by family members as they attempt to cope with conflict, as well as ways which we can respond in a healthier more intentional manner.
  • Reality TV: The Mindset of Today's Teen
    What makes your teenager tick?  How does he interpret the world around him?  "Reality TV" gives parents valuable insight into what motivates their children, as well as effective strategies for becoming a more influential their lives.
  • Making Your Home a Sanctuary:  How to Make Rules and Make Them Stick?Without Sacrificing Your Relationship with Your Teen
    Setting rules and boundaries is one of the toughest responsibilities that a parent of a teenage substance abuser faces.  This session provides parents with proven techniques for restoring order in the home while strengthening the parent-child relationship.

Parents learn to regain control of the home while providing a loving and safe environment.
