Parent of Teens Support Groups
Along with joining the EPIC Community, here are some other parent group and sessions you might find helpful:
EPIC Parents Program 5 session program that builds understanding, knowledge and confidence to better support your young person, your family and yourself. EPIC is aware of the isolation and powerlessness parents/carers experience when their teens are facing challenges. We are working with community to remove barriers, offer support and create awareness.
EPIC Walks /coffee are all about connection for parents of teens. We walk, talk, listen, laugh, cry and relax. With so much going on in our daily lives it’s important for us all with troubled teens to take a moment to share, unwind a little and realise we are not on this journey alone.
SDECC (Sydney Drug Education and Counselling Centre) has excellent programs to inform and support parents and carers of young people who are engaging with alcohol and other drugs. The 6 session Paving Ways course is highly recommended by EPIC parents and members, a therapeutic group for parents/carers who are experiencing the effects of their child’s/dependant’s problematic alcohol and/or drug use.
Family Drug Support Hold workshops and provide up to date information on all aspects of alcohol and drug use relative to the families of alcohol and other drug users.
The Northern Centre hold Tuning Into Teens programs in English, Korean and Mandarin.
