  Children of Alcoholics Awareness Week 

Children of Alcoholics 

​Week 1  -  Week 2  -  Week 3

"COA (or Children of Alcoholics) Awareness Week happens the 3^rdweek of February each year. COA week breaks the silence and recognizes the unique set of challenges that children and teens face who are impacted by a family member's addiction. 

It is estimated that 1 in 7 Americans will struggle with addiction in their lifetimes, and what we know from recent polling data is that rates of substance use have increased during the pandemic. Many adults and teens are unable to meet with their support networks in person right now. Ultimately, children who are impacted by a family member's substance use or addiction may feel especially isolated, confused and alone. We want to let you know that you're not alone, and that, with the right support and understanding healing is possible. The time is more important now than ever to share hope and to connect with a trusted adult. 

Please don't forget these facts:

Addictionis a disease.

You can'tCure it

You didn'tCause it 

You can notControl otherssubstance use

You CAN talk about the problem 

You are not alone
