Parent CRAFT is a self-paced online video course that teaches parents, caregivers, and others the skills and techniques needed to address adolescent or young adult substance abuse and encourage a young person who needs it to enter treatment. Parents and caregivers learn skills to address adolescent and transitional-age youth (TAY) substance abuse through highly engaging online video segments that include structured suggestions for practicing skills.  

This resource is available to all Maryland parents and caregivers for free (a $200 value) through the Maryland Family and Youth Interventions for Substance Use (Maryland FYI) project. Maryland Family and Youth Interventions for Substance Use (Maryland FYI) is part of the Maryland State Opioid Response, funded by the federal Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). Maryland FYI Partners include: the Maryland Department of Health Behavioral Health Administration, the National Center for School Mental Health, Bowie State University, Morgan State University, NAMI Maryland, and the Maryland Coalition of Families. Participation in this online training is completely confidential and self-paced.
