This support comes in the form of causal check-ins as needed, and is offered by the parent of a recovered individual. This service is intended to help mothers:
• Navigate treatment options for my child, myself and/or my family;
• Find helpful websites, books, articles and other information to support myself, my child and/or my family;
• Realize that I am not alone and that as a caretaker, I must also seek out support; and
• Believe that recovery is possible.
This service is not exclusive to mothers and can be offered to both parents as well. For more information regarding this program contact Lindsay Brady, LICSW at lbrady@medainc.org
