Just for Kids – NACOA
PreventionUnderstanding Addiction
NACoA envisions a world in which no child who struggles because of family addiction will be left unsupported.
Their JUST 4 KIDS site starts with a letter to children who have addiction in their families. There are many tools on this site including questions and answers, a calendar of prompts that encourage exploration of feelings, facts, brochures and worksheets.
Please don’t forget these four facts. They come in handy when you least suspect it.
- Alcoholism is a disease. You can’t cure it.
- You cannot control your parent’s drinking.
- You are not alone.
- You can talk about the problem.
**The National Organization for Children of Alcoholics also has a helpful Kit for Educators and a Kit for Parents.
