Gambling disorders are surfacing at an unprecedented rate. Online sports betting is legal in 31 states and online casinos are available in seven states, including PA, NJ and DE. We have 24/7 access at our fingertips, so increased frequency of play and easier entry points are fueling gambling addiction, as well as opening the door to adolescent gambling. What was once limited to casinos is now available anytime, anywhere.

We’ll explore prevention, early intervention, and e ective treatment strategies.

You don't need to have the answers. You don't even need to know what to say.

If someone you love is struggling with substance use, you deserve support, too.

Our Parent Partnership meetings offer a welcoming space to connect with others who understand the complicated emotions, questions, and challenges that can come with loving someone affected by substance use.

Come as you are. Listen, share, connect — whatever feels right for you. We have meetings in person and on zoom 5 days/week.

There's a place for you here. 💚 💙

Siblings of loved ones struggling with substance use carry a unique kind of weight, one that deserves connection, understanding, and support.

We’re proud to offer our Sibling Partnership, a dedicated space just for them. What began in 2023 as a monthly virtual group has grown into a weekly meeting, thanks to the voices of siblings who shared the need for more consistent support.

Led by Mallory Henry, BS, CPS of Caron Treatment Centers, this group creates a safe, welcoming space to talk, listen, and connect with others who truly understand.

Every Wednesday at 8 PM on Zoom: https://conversation.zone/siblinglink

Whether our kids are just starting high school, planning for college, searching for their first job, or struggling to determine their next steps in life, we may find ourselves teetering on the parenthood fence.

How can we help them to launch? Are we still their caregiver? Their disciplinarian? Their problem solver? What are the boundaries?

This in-person program will bring into focus the line between being supportive and loving, and being the rescuer/protector. We'll also explore ways that our roles change once our child leaves home.

Now more than ever, technology plays a vital role in all our lives. It keeps us connected and can educate, illuminate and entertain. With increased use, kids can develop an unhealthy dependence on tech as an escape or way to avoid life’s challenges.

Gaming, social media, and streaming entertainment can be fun and relaxing, but moderation can easily slide toward dependence. We’ll provide strategies to help our kids develop a healthy relationship with technology, and skills to practice self-care.

Grief and the sense of loss aren’t always associated with a death. Families can mourn the healthy, loving family they expected, and that ambiguous loss keeps the mind caught between hope and mourning, making it hard to move forward.

Friends and community often do not recognize the loss or offer support. Join us to name this grief, find hope in our own recovery, and discover the resilience that comes from connecting with others.
