Partnership to End Addiction

Hi Friend,,

It's not uncommon for parents to focus exclusively on their
child or loved one when they are struggling with substance use, even
to the detriment of their own health and well-being. It's also
completely understandable.

However, a critical part of helping a loved one overcome addiction is
a parent's own self-care. Watch as Heidi, a peer parent coach
at the Partnership, describes how her efforts to take care of herself
made her a better problem-solver and a positive example for her
daughter in how to manage stress and anxiety.

"I was clenching my teeth so hard that my back molar
cracked," Heidi says. "At that point, I said 'Time
out. I need to do something different here.'"

Hear Heidi's whole story - how she found ways to focus on
her own health, and the impact that focus had on her daughter's
substance use in the first episode of our new year-long video series.
