Event Description

For Prevention Specialists:

In an addicted family, children are usually the first to be hurt and the last to be helped and yet they are at the highest risk for repeating the cycle of addiction. In the mid to late 80's through the early 90's "children of alcoholics" was a "hot topic" with numerous conferences, workshops, etc. on the subject. But, just because we don't see as much about the issue, the number of children impacted by their parent's substance abuse has not decreased nor have the issues they face become any easier to cope with. Professionals working in both treatment and prevention need to be educated about the progression of the disease and its impact on the family.

Participants will be able to:

articulate the disease concept of alcoholism and other addictions;

identify appropriate strategies and techniques for engaging children from addicted families in the healing process; identify current resources available and how they and/or their organization can assist families touched by addiction. ATOD Specific CPS Domains: II. Education & Skill Development and V. Professional Growth & Responsibility
