Children’s Program: For children impacted by a loved one’s substance use
This free three-day program provides substance use prevention and education in a safe, supportive setting.
Children learn they are not alone by meeting other children and families who have similar experiences. Through art, games, role-play and other fun activities, children learn to identify and express feelings, develop coping skills, build resilience, and deepen communication with their loved ones.
Parents or caregivers join their children for a portion of the program. This component includes education, support, and tools for families to continue conversations about substances and feelings. The Children’s Program helps caregivers and children open lines of communication and heal the hurt in their relationships in a shame-free environment.
Bringing children into the family recovery experience sparks the healing and momentum necessary to create multigenerational recovery and wellness.
Upcoming Dates:
- December 11 – 13
Location: 7000 E. Belleview Ave. Suite 200 Greenwood Village, CO 80111
