Easter is a season of renewal—a time of hope, healing, and new beginnings. It is also a time to remember those who are still struggling quietly—especially children growing up in families impacted by the disease of addiction and substance use disorders. |
|
|
At NACoA, we believe that no child should feel alone. Yet today, 1 in 4 children in the United States lives in a home affected by substance use disorder. Too many of these children carry confusion, fear, and isolation without the support they need. |
|
|
But there is hope—and you can help bring it to life. |
|
|
This Easter, NACoA is re-launching our updated spiritual caregiving program, our Faith Leader Prevention Platform — a transformative, life-saving initiative — designed to equip faith leaders and their communities to:
|
| Updates like these are made possible by supporters like you who believe in this work.
|
|
|
• Recognize and respond to substance use disorders and mental health challenges
• Support children and families with compassion and understanding
• Reduce stigma and create welcoming, recovery-supportive communities
• Break intergenerational cycles of the disease of addiction
|
|
|
Faith leaders are often the first people individuals and families turn to in times of crisis. With the right tools, they can become powerful agents of healing—not only for individuals, but for entire families and future generations. |
|
|
Your support will help us bring this platform to rural communities and underserved urban areas, where resources are often limited but the need is great. |
|
|
With your gift, you can help: |
|
|
• Train faith leaders to recognize and respond to families in need
• Provide life-saving education about today’s most dangerous substances
• Support whole-family recovery programs that strengthen relationships and resilience
• Ensure that children have safe, trusted adults who can see them, hear them, and help them
|
|
|
Most importantly, you will help ensure that a child who feels alone can find connection, understanding, and hope. |
|
|
As we reflect on the promise of Easter—the possibility of renewal and new life—we invite you to be part of this mission. |
|
|
| Together, we can transform faith communities into places of healing.
Together, we can support families in their journey toward recovery.
And together, we can ensure that no child has to suffer in silence.
