Helping Children Impacted by Parental Substance Use
What should we be doing when we encounter a child who has a parent struggling with a substance use disorder? What should we look for? What can we say? If there are signs of neglect or abuse, what are the steps we should take?
This toolkit is for adults who come into contact with children impacted by a parent’s substance misuse and provides information about how to help. It is meant for anyone—daycare, school and after-school care staff, coaches, pastors, physicians, relatives, friends, neighbors.
