How to support your teen, if you can't get your teen the treatment they need
During this event, Anh will dive into the ways parents can support their teens if they are unable to get their teens into treatment. Currently, treatment programs have 6-month-long waitlists and there are severe cost and location barriers to receiving care for teenagers. In this talk, Anh will dive into what parents, community members, and families can do if traditional treatment options aren't available or if you have a teen on a waitlist.
