About Parenting in a Substance Abundant World by Elizabeth Benson
Children today grow up surrounded by alcohol, prescription pills, vaping and drugs — often before parents feel ready to talk about any of it. Parenting in a Substance Abundant World is a calm, practical guide to having those conversations early and well. Drawing on nearly two decades of work with families, it shows parents how to build the protective factors and resilience that keep children safe long before a crisis arrives, how to recognise the early signs of substance use, and how to respond if addiction has already touched the family. Rated 4.9 stars by 195 readers. FREE on Kindle 15–17 September 2026.
