On Thursday, April 7th at 2 PM ET, Eluna hosted a one-hour virtual panel focused on how mentoring can help children and families break the intergenerational cycle of addiction. View the conversation here.
Our panel, featuring Camp Mariposa mentors, youth participants, and program directors, highlighted how trained mentors are successfully helping youth and families cope with a loved one’s substance use disorder and preventing the next generation from developing their own addiction. The conversation was moderated by Jennifer Lewis-Hall, Journalist at PHL17.
