What effect does The Pathway Program’s parent program have on families and loved ones of drug and alcohol using young people?
Parents with a substance-using child typically experience high levels of stress and strain in their lives due to worry, guilt, and fears caused by living with or attempting to parent a substance user.
In 2018, a qualitative study was conducted on the success of The Pathway Program’s parent support groups in improving the lives of parents affected by the their child’s substance use. The goal was to find out if parents who participated in these weekly parent support meetings experience improvement in their overall lives across multiple areas.
An established measurement tool, The Quality of Life Inventory (QOLI), was used to facilitate the study. The QOLI measures an individual’s overall sense of wellbeing by gauging 16 domains, i.e. health, self esteem, goals, financial, work, play, home, love, children, etc. Both, parents whose children were currently abstaining from substance use and parents whose children were actively using took the QOLI.
Participants completing the inventory had been attending the parent meetings for 3-24 months.
The outcomes were excellent; 100% of the participants experienced improvement in sense of
well being, with 79% showing major overall improvement.
