This webinar, provided by the National Association for Children of Addiction, is part of an ongoing series about the whole family recovery program Celebrating Families! Supporting parents/caregivers to develop healthy attachment and demonstrate positive parenting skills is important for parents in recovery. Group leaders implementing this program focus on the relationship of parents and children and are a “Guide on the Side” as they coach or guide them as they nurture confidence and capability during sessions. This FREE webinar will review important basics and enrich what is provided in group leader trainings to help group leaders find greater success when working with young families.

Celebrating Families! is NACoA’s evidencebased, traumainformed, skillbuilding program focused on children’s future physical and behavioral health, including substance use disorders and mental health challenges. The program supports families dealing with or at high risk for multiple problems: substance use disorders; multigenerational trauma; physical and mental health challenges; cognitive deficits due to trauma, genetics, or inutero exposure; and child abuse/neglect and family violence. It addresses these needs through building healthy living skills, educating families, utilizing a peer support format.
