Parents/guardians are a vital component of each youth’s treatment plan and are required to attend regular sessions and monthly family meetings with a Ray of Hope case worker. Ray of Hope provides parents and guardians with an opportunity to learn and grow with others through weekly parent support groups. These groups offer knowledge about addictions, self-care and parenting approaches for dealing with at-risk youth. Parents are encouraged to participate in a support group until their youth has successfully completed their treatment program.
Ray of Hope offers addiction treatment programs which assist youth in the Waterloo and Wellington regions on their journey to overcoming addiction and substance abuse. We provide three levels of treatment to youth, as well as support to parents/guardians, with the ultimate goal of helping youth return to a life free of addiction.
