NACoA’s Commitment to Supporting All Parents
NACoA is deeply committed to supporting parents, recognizing their crucial role in the lives of their children, especially those affected by the disease of addiction. NACoA understands that parenting can be particularly challenging for those struggling with substance use disorders and/or impacted by them when children themselves, and we provide the resources and support needed to help these parents overcome obstacles and build healthier families.
NACoA offers a range of programs and services designed to empower parents with the knowledge and tools they need to support their children’s emotional and psychological well-being. Through educational initiatives, support groups, and advocacy efforts, NACoA works to ensure that parents have access to the information and assistance they need to break the cycle of addiction and create a stable, nurturing home environment.
Addressing the unique challenges faced by parents in recovery is important. Parents need to support and maintain their sobriety while fulfilling their parental responsibilities. Others deserve the healing that wasn’t offered in childhood to help them make sense of the addiction in their families and their lives. Without proper education and skill development, the cycle of addiction may continue to affect future generations. NACoA’s mission includes advocating for policies that promote family-centered care and support services, ensuring that parents have the necessary resources to succeed.
On Parents’ Day, NACoA celebrates the resilience and dedication of all parents, especially those who are overcoming the challenges of the disease of addiction. We honor their commitment to their children and their determination to create a better future for their families. By supporting parents, NACoA aims to foster a community where every child can thrive, grow, and reach their full potential, supported by the love and care of strong, resilient parents.
