Heroin: Not My Kid - What parents need to know - Saturday, August 27

Wednesday, August 10, 2011

Heroin is one of the cheapest drugs on the market today. It’s accessible in the Puget Sound area, and at $30 for three hits, it’s within the financial reach of many teens and young adults.

Come hear more about this subject. Panel members include a physician from the Washington Poison Center, parents of an addict, a recovering addict, and the Snohomish County Sheriff. You’ll have an opportunity to ask questions of panel members.

Saturday, August 27, 2011, 10 am - noon, Shoreline City Hall, 17500 Midvale Ave N, Shoreline, WA 98133

"It's scary," says Stanwood Police Sgt. Barry Ruchty. "You used to think marijuana was the gateway drug for young people, not anymore."

There is no charge for this seminar, which is open to the public. Email for more information.

Changes Parent Support Group -- New Shoreline Group forming

Monday, July 12, 2010

Are you ( or anyone you know) facing challenging behavior in your family from adolescents or young adults? Including but not restricted to:
  • Drug or alcohol use including selling illicit or prescription drugs
  • Disrespect, verbal or physical abuse to you or other family members
  • School failure or non-attendance
  • Staying out all night; you have no idea where your child is. Or you do and you KNOW it's a bad idea
  • Theft from you and others.
  • Arrested by police, facing charges in juvenile or adult court
Changes Parent Support Network, a local independent parenting group specializing in helping parents deal with acting out teens and young adults, runs four local support groups and is starting a new Shoreline group. CPSN fosters healthy families by equipping parents with tools and support to change their behavior.

Step by step, as a parent, you learn to change your behavior, set your own boundaries and regain control of your own household. Your changes may very well foster changes in other family members especially when their acting out no longer works for them

There is HOPE. Hope that your family can get out of crisis and your teen or young adult can start taking control of their own life.

There's a new Shoreline group forming at the request of the City of Shoreline. 

An open house is scheduled for September 9 at 7 pm with regular meetings starting every Thursday on September 16, 7-9:30 pm. 

All meetings will be at the Richmond Highlands Recreation Center, 16544 Fremont Ave N. CPSN meetings and services are free (though a donation box is passed at the meeting). Call 1-888-468-2620 or check the website for more information.
