Concurrent disorders are when a mental illness and a substance use disorder happen at the same time. For example, depression and alcohol dependence or anxiety and opioid dependency.
Join our podcast guests Ngaire, a parent of four, and Jennifer Toomey, a Registered Psychiatric Nurse at BC Children’s Hospital, as they discuss how to best support and treat youth with concurrent disorders. They offer tips on how to prioritize the connection with your youth while also getting the support you need as a parent or caregiver.
