Supporting Families: A Conversation with Dave Urech

Join us as Dave Urech tells us about what it is like being a parent of a child with a substance use disorder and his passion for working with families with a similar experience. 

Dave Urech, a Michigan native, moved to Alabama about a decade ago, and he and his wife, Laura, became engaged in a local support group for parents of a child with a substance use disorder. Both Dave and his wife had been impacted by their son’s substance use disorder and were seeking additional support. Soon, Dave and his wife began leading a family support group, which is designed to support parents and family members of a loved one with a substance use disorder through education and connection. 

Dave’s group meets at Asbury Church (Birmingham, Alabama) on Monday evenings from 6:30 to 8:00 PM. In addition to his group, APC’s Executive Director, Carie, and her husband, Art, have a family support group that meets at the Moore Institute on Thursday evenings from 6:30 to 8:00 PM. To learn more about the groups, contact Dave (717-341-1918) or Art (205-616-8867).
