Family Support for Substance Use
No one should have to navigate substance use challenges alone.
Whether you are a parent in recovery, supporting a loved one, involved with DCYF, working toward reunification, or simply looking for someone who understands, Parent Support Network of Rhode Island offers peer-led support rooted in lived experience, compassion, and hope.
Our team meets families where they are and helps them navigate challenges while building on their strengths.
You Don't Have to Figure It Out Alone
Substance use can affect the entire family.
Parents and caregivers often face challenges related to:
Stress and overwhelm
Family relationships and communication
Child welfare involvement
Mental health concerns
Recovery and wellness goals
Accessing community resources
Reunification and family strengthening
Our Family Support Partners understand these challenges because many have lived experience of recovery, parenting, and navigating complex systems.

Community Connection & Recovery Month
Each September during Recovery Month, PSN partners with community organizations across Rhode Island to support events that celebrate recovery and family resilience.
