For Families & Loved Ones.
If addiction has touched your family, you are not alone, and you don't have to carry it alone either.

You Don't Have to Have the Answers

Recovery Doesn't Happen in Isolation — Neither Should Supporting It
YPR's mission is to provide life skills and peer support to help young people recover from substance use disorder and reach their full potential. That mission was never meant to stop at the young person, families carry real weight too, and deserve real support in carrying it.
Whether your young person is just starting to explore recovery, actively working a program, or simply trying to understand what they're going through, there's a place for you here.
My Future Is EPIC
My Future Is EPIC is a life-skills curriculum for 14- to 18-year-olds who are misusing substances, who are at high risk for developing a substance use disorder, or who already identify as being in recovery.
