Parent-to-Parent Program
Caritas, Inc. is pleased to announce it will continue the critically important Parent-to-Parent gatherings this summer in Newport, RI. With the support of local foundations, Caritas is continuing its prevention program, called Parent-to-Parent in Aquidneck Island. This on-going prevention program will begin Tuesday, June 17 and will be held at Caritas' Middletown office at 1341 West Main Road, Suite 14. The program will be led by parent volunteers who have been there and know the anguish of facing and dealing with their adolescent's substance abuse. Every Tuesday, from 6-8pm, parents are invited to come in for our free Parent-to-Parent sessions. Here they can listen to other parents discuss what they went through, offer some advice and help answer questions. The last Tuesday of every month will feature an expert including emergency room doctors, drug court representatives, high school officials, state police and other experts. Every Thursday, from 6-8pm, by appointment ony, parents will be offered free, half hour confidential sessions to discuss their own personal circumstances. A Parent-to-Parent 24 Hour Hotline has already been established for those in need, (401) 489-1419.
