Guided by findings from the listening groups and Peer Consultants’ interests, the Parents in Recovery Video was created to promote the importance of the parenting role, reduce stigma, and lessen feelings of isolation among parents with mental health and substance use challenges. After our initial video, due to high demand, we filmed a second video featuring the adult children of parents in recovery. 

We are actively working to integrate the video in interactive trainings and among different groups, including parents, child mental health providers, adult mental health providers, families, and DMH-affiliated groups.
