The Parents In Recovery Program is a knowledge, strengths and skills-based program offered to parents (mothers, fathers and primary parental caretakers) in recovery from substance use disorder (SUD).

The curricular sessions provide men and women with a positive, supportive environment where they can safely explore some of their personal childhood experiences and their challenges becoming parents to their own children.
