At THE S.O.A.P. — Thriving, Healing, Empowering Seeds of Addicted Parents, we understand that substance use affects more than the individual. Its impact reaches children, families, caregivers, and communities.
While treatment and recovery services support individuals experiencing substance use disorder, children and loved ones often carry experiences of their own—addiction, overdose, separation, grief, instability, and community substance use. They deserve support, too.
THE S.O.A.P. creates population-specific spaces for children and youth impacted by parental, family, or community substance use while supporting the families and caregivers surrounding them.
Through peer support, family engagement, enrichment, life skills, overdose education, therapeutic connections, advocacy, workforce development, and community experiences, we create opportunities for healing, connection, and growth.
And we believe healing doesn't always have to feel heavy.
Sometimes it looks like having an honest conversation with peers who understand. Other times, it's cooking together, creating art, making music, taking a trip, learning a new skill, celebrating a milestone, or simply giving a child, parent, and caregiver an opportunity to laugh and create a new memory together.
Whether a child lives with a parent in recovery, a grandparent or temporary caregiver, or has been exposed to substance use within their community, their experience matters.
We work alongside families and existing treatment providers, schools, churches, recovery programs, and community organizations to add a specialized layer of support—not duplicate what's already working.
Recovery may begin with one person, but healing can reach an entire family and community.
THE S.O.A.P. is here for the children. For the families. For the caregivers. For the community.
