What would life like look like if you had...

Consistency through foundational Supervisor trainings you could fall back on when the going got tough?

Coaching with Robyn Priest and a RPLYT trained facilitator that you could connect with and learn from to broaden your role as a Supervisor of Peer Support Workers?

Community Support from like-minded Supervisors?

There is so much more inside each of us - let's unlock the potential together

This is where you will find:

Coaching - Having that coach/facilitator who sees the potential in others and helps them navigate obstacles so they can stay motivated as a Supervisor.

Community - There is nothing that challenges, encourages, and supports us like others who "get our world". There is this amazing family feel to our community and it gets stronger each day.

All of this and so much more.

Compassion & Empathy in Rehab Admissions – Limelight Interview

By Sanford Addiction Treatment Centers, Thursday, March 5, 2020 7:42 AM
Sanford Admissions Specialists use the same words when asked about what their job entails – compassion and empathy. And when you consider how it feels to pick up the phone and ask for help, someone on the other end of the line feeling “with you” is key. Especially if you are a person with a […]

How Can I Prevent My Child from Overdosing?



 

How Can I Prevent My Child from Overdosing?

It can be terrifying when your child is using substances. When they are using heroin, fentanyl or other opioids, however, the fear is even greater, since these substances pose a much higher risk of fatal overdose.

Your first goal is of course to encourage your child to seek treatment for their drug use. But there are things you can do to help prevent them from overdosing in the meantime.

1. Have a Safety Plan.

While not endorsing the use of substances, it’s important to accept the reality of it and focus on reducing harmful consequences. Discussing a safety plan with your child as a precautionary measure can help reduce those opportunities for accidental overdose. “When you are the parent of someone using drugs, you are so busy trying to get them to stop that you don’t give advice on how to stay alive while they are using,” says Robin Elliott in an article in the Huffington Post. A safety plan can contain the advice listed here, as well as letting your child know that you care and you want to stay involved in their life in a positive way.

“Remember that as long as they are alive, there is still hope.” Robin E.

2. Get Naloxone.

Naloxone (brand name Narcan) is a life-saving medication that can stop an opioid overdose. It’s easy to administer and is available at most pharmacies and from many community organizations across the country. You should always have naloxone available to both you and your child, just as you would a first-aid kit.
