Parents of Addicted Loved Ones (PAL) is a small group experience that provides hope through education and support to parents of adults dealing with substance use disorder. Don’t navigate this journey alone – allow others to walk alongside you, providing care and resources to assist. Childcare is not available.
About PAL Meetings
PAL is a support group for parents and other family members who are trying to support a loved one in seeking recovery.
PAL’s evidence-based practices have been proven in studies to help parents’ wellbeing to improve and decrease enabling behavior. The studies also indicate that the loved one with substance use disorder was less likely to be using drugs/drinking alcohol once their family member attended PAL meetings. The practices include curriculum topics such as delayed emotional growth, the role of the family in addition, setting realistic boundaries, and healthy helping vs. enabling.
Weekly meetings offer addiction education and support at no charge for parents and other family members who are trying to support a loved one through an addiction.
A few things we want you to know:
- We welcome your point of view.
- We will be supportive of you whether you choose to do what is suggested or not.
- Meeting facilitators are parent volunteers, not counselors. Every suggestion and point of view you hear will reflect that person’s experience, not necessarily the opinions of PAL.
- What you hear in meetings, and what you say in meetings, should remain confidential.
- All PAL attendees must be 18 or older.
- PAL is a support group of parents helping parents. Therefore, it is not a place for you to bring your addicted loved one.
