The Phase 2 Class

While the Phase 1 class empowers parents with understanding the illness of addiction and providing a structure of accountability to help their child get sober, Phase II illuminates the power and the importance of the parent's role in focusing on their relationship with their child. Parents will learn to better understand how their child is struggling with their own intra/inter personal conflicts as a teen/young adult, as well as, the fear & grief of letting go of their relationship to intoxication and “drug culture.” Meanwhile, they no longer have drug dealers and intoxication to turn to for soothing, support and the ever important sense of "feeling felt." Finally parents will understand the importance of putting aside their own frustrations and accessing available resources so that they can warmly & consistently support their child through this difficult time, nurturing their emotional & psychological growth.
