Help Families in This Critical Moment

Dear Joseph,

We hope this message finds you and your loved ones safe and well.

During this uncertain time, our urgent work continues. We are seeing an uptick in the intensity of calls and texts to our helpline from families who are struggling with a child being released from treatment prematurely and loved ones relapsing due to stress. Parents who reach out are not only worried about kids sneaking out to use substances, but also about the heightened risk of exposure to COVID-19, putting the health and safety of the rest of the family at risk. Others are experiencing daily anxiety while being quarantined at home with a loved one who is struggling with a substance use disorder or in early recovery.

Families need us. They need the online, remote support we've always offered now more than ever. We are proactively taking steps to ensure we are available to families, with one-on-one help and timely, informative content addressing parent and caregiver challenges during this COVID-19 crisis. We’ve also expanded services with the development of our free online support community and our new Text COVID program enabling family members to receive daily support via SMS messaging.

We know you care deeply about the families we serve, and your support has been especially vital these past few weeks. Now, as we face new challenges and increased need in the coming weeks and months, your support is even more important.

While this is a time of economic uncertainty, a gift in any amount will help us in this critical moment. Your donation will help us continue to provide uninterrupted support services and resources to the families who need us most.

Be well,
