Nurturing addiction-free futures
Addiction within a family environment can cause specific and complex challenges for children. In the Ashley Children and Caregiver’s Program, we work with children ages 7-12 to address their unique needs in an age-appropriate manner. The Children and Caregiver’s Program is a hybrid virtual and in-person week-long program held on the second week of the month.
Pre-registration is required to join.
For more information, please email FamilyWellness@AshleyTreatment.org.
