Safe Harbor offers a parent/guardian support group at our Round Lake Education Center facility at 13513 Division Street, Charlevoix, Mi 49720. This group takes place every Sunday at 4:00pm, and covers topics such as, dealing with difficult teens, processing weekend visits, supporting parents, providing addiction education, relapse prevention and sober activities.
To facilitate this initiative, all visits end at 4pm on Sunday, with parents/guardians dropping their youth off at the Round Lake Education Center Campus. The kids will have their own group to process their weekend activities and parents/guardians will have the opportunity to participate in the support group. The groups will last 1-hour, foster parents will pick the kids up on site and parents/guardians will be able to leave for home no later than 5:00pm.
All visits will follow the below schedule:
4-hour Sunday 12:00pm to 4:00pm
8-hour Sunday 8:00am to 4:00pm
Overnight Saturday to Sunday Ends @ 4:00pm Sunday
Weekend Friday to Sunday Ends @ 4:00pm Sunday
Support groups over the holidays will be determined on a case-by-case basis.
Parents/guardians and other family members must be committed to supporting their youth in recovery. Just as addiction must be considered a family disease, recovery must be treated as a family process to be productive. Parents/guardians must actively take part in therapy sessions, educational programs, and support groups if they are to create a home environment that sustains long-term sobriety. The purpose of our parent/guardian support group in rehab is not to criticize parenting skills, but to accomplish specific goals.
These include:
Safe Harbor Staff reserve the right to cancel any/or all visits if the youth is determined to be a risk to themselves or to the public. Any/all visits may be changed according to what is deemed to be in the best interest of the youth and/or parent.
