Just for Kids - NACOA
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.
