You've likely had many conversations with your child on the dangers of
drinking, smoking or using other substances. But despite your best
efforts, they continue to engage. Why? And why can't they see how
harmful this behavior is?

The short answer is that to them, substance use is solving a problem
despite the risks or harm.

No matter where you are emotionally, mentally or physically,
Partnership to End Addiction is here to help. In the next episode of
our yearlong YouTube video series, Karla Castro, the Partnership's
Associate Director, Helpline Quality Assurance, responds to some of
the most frequently asked questions we hear from parents and family
members as they look to support their children and loved ones, such
as:

* Why is my loved one using substances?
* Why is family support important?
* What questions should I ask my loved one about treatment?
* Why do I feel guilt and shame?

Family support for a child or loved one struggling with substance use
is essential to finding a positive path forward. Effective support
reduces feelings of isolation, helps your loved one feel cared for,
and positions you and your family as an accessible resource for
guidance and assistance.

You can watch this episode and previous episodes here on drugfree.org.
This new video series will feature a variety of topics, voices and
stories all year long.
