Resources to Help You Help Your Loved One

Practical, research-backed information straight to your inbox every month.

Everyone's journey with substance use is unique, but one thing that remains the same is the importance of family support and community.

Protecting your LGBTQ+ child

Being a young person who identifies as LGBTQ+ can be tough. They often face unfair treatment or discrimination. That experience can put them at a higher risk for using alcohol, nicotine and other substances, which can lead to addiction. But as a parent, you can make a difference. By accepting and supporting your child's identity, encouraging healthy behaviors, and paying attention to signs of substance use, you can protect and help your child thrive.

The Partnership has created special resources for families like yours who have a loved one in the LGBTQ+ community. We understand the challenges you face, and we're here to support you every step of the way.

New episode: On the power of storytelling and finding community

We often hear about the negative impacts social media can have on mental health, but Ryann Cooke and Jordan Shelton’s lives changed for the better because of the community they found on TikTok. Ryann and Jordan both decided to stop drinking in their 20s after coming to terms with the fact that alcohol was negatively affecting them. They each posted about their experiences on TikTok and received not only generous support from viewers, but also many messages from people who had similar stories.

Ryann and Jordan join Elizabeth Vargas on “Heart of the Matter” to talk about why they decided to stop drinking, the tie between storytelling and connection and how their vulnerability has allowed them to find supportive communities on social media.
