Family Recovery Supports

SOS is proud to offer a variety of evidence-based supports to help families, parents, relatives and individuals in recovery navigate the challenges of substance use and recovery.

Nurturing parenting program

Parenting class for those in recovery. Intended to help participants with: self-awareness, child development, heightening self-esteem, strengthening confidence, and building healthier family relationships. We offer both:

in-person Support groups

Parents in recovery face unique challenges, but they don’t have to do it alone. We provide support groups for parents in our centers to meet in-person and provide each other support and a safe space to reflect, connect, and bond.
