Choose Hope is Not My Child’s family support and education program created for loved ones impacted by substance use. The program offers a safe, welcoming, and judgment-free space where families can find understanding, connection, and guidance while navigating the challenges of loving someone who struggles with substance use.
Through support groups, workshops, and grief-informed discussions, Choose Hope helps families build healthier communication, strengthen boundaries, process loss, and develop tools for emotional resilience. The program recognizes that families are deeply affected by substance use and deserve care, compassion, and support of their own.
Choose Hope also provides grief support for those who have lost a loved one to substance-related causes, offering a place for healing, remembrance, and hope. All sessions are confidential, community-based, and facilitated with empathy and respect.
Choose Hope exists to remind families they are not alone and that healing, connection, and hope are always possible.
