Recovery Education And Applied Learning (REAL) Launches Online Education Platform For Parents Of Children Struggling With Substance Use Disorders
Recovery Education And Applied Learning (REAL) is a new online education platform for parents of young adults struggling with substance use disorders. REAL helps parents learn how to identify, treat and manage their children’s substance abuse problems through evidence-based training, interactive modules, and customized content.
Launching the new online education platform will allow parents to learn from others who have been through similar experiences. REAL aims to help parents understand how to support their children in their recovery process and build on their strengths.
Through REAL, you can access a variety of free resources, including:
- Original content, including videos, interviews, and workbooks
- Live daily workshops with top physicians
- A therapist-moderated community
- Fully vetted library of content and the latest news in addiction and recovery
Parents can learn about the warning signs and symptoms of substance addiction, understand how they can support their children during the recovery process, determine the right treatment options, and more. REAL will help guide parents through each step of this complex, emotional process with empathy and extensive knowledge of addiction and recovery.
“Parents often don’t know how to support their children as they transition from substance use to recovery,” said Todd Lampert, Chief Executive Officer of REAL. “This is why we are so excited about this new platform. It will allow parents to connect and learn from others who have been through similar experiences in a safe space.”
Who is Behind (REAL)?
“We had a team of top industry experts in collaboration with parents, adolescents and young adults develop the REAL platform to help families make sense of the overwhelming decisions they face when it comes to the issues surrounding their child’s substance use and potential addiction.
The team behind the platform consists of top industry experts who collaborated with parents, adolescents, and young adults to build REAL. With so much conflicting, unvetted information online about substance use disorder and recovery, REAL hopes to provide families with verified, trusted resources that help families make sense of the overwhelming decisions they face regarding the addiction and recovery process.
