Have you tried everything you can think of to help your child, but nothing has worked? It’s not because you’re a bad parent. It’s because most of the information about addiction is outdated, doesn't work, and often makes things worse. Heather went through the same thing with her own daughter’s addiction until she found a new approach. She teaches you a collaborative compassionate approach to support yourself, reduce conflict, encourage change in your child, and even repair your relationship. Learn how to set the tone for your family's healing.
