Are you tired of being told you have to wait for your child to want recovery before anything can change?

Many parents of children struggling with substance abuse are trapped in helpless waiting, believing they must sit by until their child chooses recovery. In this episode, you'll discover why that belief is not only misleading but dangerous — and how understanding the reality of substance abuse disorder can empower you to take meaningful action now.

  • Learn why waiting for a child to "feel ready" can prolong suffering and delay real change.
  • Discover how maintaining connection and allowing natural consequences can support recovery without enabling harmful behaviours.
  • Understand why your love and boundaries are powerful tools, even when change feels invisible.

Press play now to learn how you can stop waiting and start building a bridge of hope and healing for your child today.
