Prevention of substance use problems - COAs have increased environmental and genetic risks. Relapse Prevention - Reduction of stress in the family 6
8 Individual Intervention What resilient adults say made a difference: Had a special relationship with an adult who cared and was nurturing, often a teacher. Latched onto another parent figure or family. Had somewhere other than home they felt they belonged. Had activities that were easy to participate in outside the home. Had a sense of purpose and future. Ability to make decisions and communicate feelings. 7
9 Characteristics of Resilient Children They know how to attract and use the support of adults. They actively try to master their environment, have a sense of their own power, and often volunteer to help others. They develop a high degree of autonomy early in life. Robert J. Ackerman, PhD 8

15 Critical Information/Skills for Children in Support Groups Children s educational support programs provide education about addiction to give children a framework for what they are experiencing as well as: Information about addiction as a family disease Information on community based support such as Alateen, and school based student assistance programs Clarification about and validation of their experiences Resources for them to learn how to get their questions answered and talk about feelings Information to learn that treatment is available and recovery is a process Information on resilience they have developed as a result of their experiences An understanding of the importance of self-care skills The development of problem-solving strategies An ability to identify and practice ways to say no An opportunity to learn new and healthy coping skills Information on how to get help and that it is ok to ask for help. 14
16 Messages for Parents and Children For Parents: Give your children the gift you never got Children can recover, too Helping your children will help you For Children: You re not alone; there are lots of kids living in families like yours. It s not your fault. You deserve help, and there is help for you. Addiction is a disease. It s ok to share your feelings with safe people. 15
17 Shifting the Balance Reducing the Risks RESILIENCE Strengthening Protective Factors 16
18 COA Support Groups Validate their perceptions and interpretations. Help them gain some perspective. Absolve them of blame. Help them separate parent from parental behavior. Offer hope, self-care skills and help to cope. Provide a safe outlet for anger. Explain risks of behavior, and how to identify safe people in their lives. Help build self-esteem. 17
19 EMPOWERMENT Exploring options Recognizing can t change others or world Recognizing can change own reactions Capable of identifying healthy choices Believing can succeed Reducing feelings of powerlessness 18
20 What Messages Should the Children Hear? You re not alone. It s not your fault. You deserve help, and there are safe people who can help. It s OK to feel your feelings. Treatment helps, and recovery happens. Addiction is a health problem. It s important to talk. You can live a good life, even if your parent continues to drink. 19
21 Children s Program Kit Goals The overall goals of the program are to build strength and to foster resilience among children of addicted parents (COAs). The skills the program is designed to build are social competence, problem solving, coping, autonomy, and a sense of purpose and future. This kit was developed to assist treatment providers, schools and community-based youth-serving systems to educate and support children affected by parental alcohol and drug addiction, and to bring the benefits of hope, healing, and recovery to children of addicted persons. 20
