What’s Wrong With My Teen

Addiction doesn’t just impact the individual; it affects the entire family system. In this webinar, hosted by Colette Currin, VP of EHN Guardians, we’ll explore the complex dynamics of recovery for teens, young adults, and their families with Susan Raphael, ICADC, founder of Sustainable Recovery Counselling in Toronto.

Susan brings not only extensive professional expertise but also lived experience, offering a compassionate and practical perspective on one of the most difficult challenges families face. She is an internationally certified addiction counselor with the CACCF, a referral clinician with the NBA/NBPA Clinicians’ Network, and the author of What’s Wrong with My Teen. Her insights have been featured on The Ben Mulroney Show and the Recovering Out Loud podcast.
