Deep Dives on tough topics
Featuring families and thought leaders, we explore topics relating to grief and addiction, the effects of these issues, and what each of us can do to help.
Tools for You
Teens & Young Adults
This is your portal to finding and receiving the support you need.
We Get It
Grief is not linear and families change. When addiction is in your family, you might experience people in recovery and some in relapse. Your world can go up and down and sideways. Eluna has been providing camps for nearly 25 years and we have continued to support you and your family with resources and connections since day one. We hope you will use this page to find what you need, wherever you are. You can follow us on social, or check out the links below for updated resources and connections to programs that serve your generation.
