Healthy Chaps would like to introduce Brave Parents! Brave Parents provides a safe gathering place for parents with adolescents in residential treatment programs, outpatient treatments programs, transitioning home from a program, or parents considering treatment options for their child. Having a child in a treatment situation can be isolating. Sharing our experiences, resources and information is important to us.
