In this podcast interview with Laura Richer, LCSW, of Anchor Light Therapy Collective I share the ups and downs of parenting a teen through substance use, discuss some of the biggest challenges parents face when they have a child misusing drugs or alcohol, the impact COVID has had on families seeking help, what employers should be thinking about when it comes to supporting employees, and why a community is critical to the entire process.

In this podcast interview with Will White of Summit Achievement, I share our journey into the world of wilderness therapy that began when my son was living a high-risk lifestyle and using drugs - and we were unable to find a local resource that could provide the help he needed. Hear how we engaged with an educational consultant who taught us what wilderness therapy is, how and why we used a transport company to get my son to Elements Wilderness Therapy in Utah, and how the experience changed all our lives.
