There's so much pressure on parents to be perfect. Everyone has advice - family, old friends, even acquaintances on social media. Doubly so if you use drugs. But there is no such thing as a perfect parent.

Instead, good enough parenting is simply good enough. It's about meeting a little person's needs, even if you're tired and a bit grumpy on occasion or have your own things going on. Good enough parenting doesn't mean showering kids with gifts or sending them to the best schools either. It means providing a safe environment for them to learn and grow.

Sometimes this can look like harm reduction measures or boundaries around substance use, but if it keeps you and your little ones safe, it's more than good enough. Quihn offers a judgment free space for parents with mental health or substance use seeking parental support, through the Treehouse Parenting Group program.
