This talk will focus on helping parents and caregivers build connection with their teens who may be struggling with substance use. The presenters will provide an overview and demonstration of validation, a positive parenting strategy known to increase openness and decrease escalation. Parents will also hear concrete language and tips they can put into use in their own home. In the second half of the talk, presenters will talk through two case examples. In the discussion, audience members will hear clinician input on how to respond to substance use while maintaining a strong parent/child bond. Time will be given for questions.
