Heather went through the same thing with her own daughter’s addiction until she found a new approach. She teaches you a collaborative compassionate approach to support yourself, reduce conflict, encourage change in your child, and even repair your relationship. Learn how to set the tone for your family's healing.

Because navigating a child's struggle with both substance use and an eating disorder can feel like playing an endless game of whack-a-mole.
