3. Parents of Prodigals (POP) Support Groups
"For Parents By Parents", our new support group curriculum, was completed with the help of many parents who love someone impacted by addiction and/or a mental health condition. It is comprised of 14 lessons. Each lesson is based on a topic that we believe parents need to know about. Each lesson includes Points of View from a parent, a sibling, and a son, as well as discussion questions and a song that relates to the topic. This is the curriculum we will begin using in our upcoming Fall Support groups. Please contact the facilitator who leads the group you are interested in joining.
