This workshop will explore the parenting issues often present in early recovery. Many recovering parents do not have the life experience of positive parenting to use as a model. They often par ent from their own experience of growing up in an unhealthy environment. In addition\, parenting in early recovery often involves kinship caregi vers who were the primary safe place for a child(ren). A review of avail able parenting programs addressing resources and strategies for moving f orward will be generated through presentation and interactive experience s by the participants.\n\nNancy J.
