Dina Cannizzaro
Dina was a high school teacher, counselor, admissions director, and vice principal for 36 years. She recently retired to pursue her passion for helping parents and "getting the word out" about substance use being an equal opportunity destroyer that can happen to "good" families too. After years of working with adolescents, she know how the adolescent mind works and can help parents to navigate their child’s SUD (Substance Use Disorder) and move their child into positive change.
She hopes to help parents create boundaries they can live with, while maintaining a healthy and loving dialogue with their children -- no matter what their age or drug of choice.
She believes that each story is different and, therefore, may require a unique approach. She also believes that each parent handles their child's Substance Use Disorder in their own way and in their own time.
