Parenting Groups
Find support for your parenting journey with our parenting groups, meeting online and at the Direction Behavioral Health facility in Nashua.
Guests are welcome to attend!
We welcome parents of patients and guests to our parenting groups
We understand that supporting your child through their treatment can be challenging. To help, we offer dedicated Parenting Groups, both in person in Nashua, NH, and virtually. These groups equip you with the knowledge and emotional support needed to help your child thrive during their recovery.
Parenting group schedules
All parents are urged to participate in this group within the first week of their child’s membership.
The teen parenting group meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5 PM – 6 PM, on-site. The child Parenting Group is virtual and meets on Thursdays from 12 -1 PM. Please call our office for the Zoom link.
How will the parenting group help me and my child?
There are a ton of benefits to joining our Parenting Group, including:
Most importantly, by participating in your child's treatment journey, you're sending a powerful message: that their well-being is your top priority and that they matter deeply.
