Join this international awareness campaign and shine a light on the hidden pain and suffering of vulnerable kids and teens impacted by the disease of addiction in their families. While some children can find a supportive adult who helps protect them from the worst, others suffer in isolation. They often believe it is their fault, and they are responsible to “fix” the person and save their families. All children deserve the hope and healing that can transform their lives.
During COA Awareness Week we can work together to educate children and families and empower the caring adults who want to help them.
Together, we can make a difference that can last a lifetime!
One of the most supportive resources for children impacted by addiction in the family is the Seven Cs, outlining the healthy boundaries for children. It tells children that they didn’t cause, can’t control, and can’t cure the addiction affecting their families. It continues to provide important guidance to help themselves. This essential resource is available now to children in different languages to truly help support more children around the world. Find these translations in our International Materials.
Consider sharing these with families and other caring adults in the community during COA Awareness Week, and all year long!
