Help… My 15-Year-Old Is Using Substances | A Parent’s Guide to Hope, Healing & Recovery

If you’ve discovered that your teenage son is using substances, you are not alone—and you are not a failure as a parent.

In this powerful and compassionate episode from Thrive Recovery Academy, Nurse Obi breaks the silence around adolescent substance use and walks parents through what to do next—with clarity, faith, and evidence-based guidance.

This video is created for parents who are:
