Approximately one in four children in the United States is exposed to alcohol abuse or alcohol dependence in the family. Countless other children are living in families in which there is illicit drug abuse. Growing evidence suggests that genetics and environmental factors can predispose children of substance abusing parents to behavioral problems or to abuse alcohol or illegal drugs themselves. These children are also at a higher-than-average risk for problems in school and in social relationships. Treatment providers report that, while they recognize that the children of their clients also have needs, they often do not have the tools and resources to respond. This compendium of materials provides treating professionals and programs with just those tools and resources. The"Children's Program Kit" is a valuable resource for treatment providers and prevention centers that aim to help children make sense of what they've been experiencing, cope with the stresses of their families' problems, and strengthen their potential for resilience. The kit contains complete inservice training on this issue for substance abuse treatment and counseling staff, as well as school personnel and community leaders. There are strategies and tools for therapists to use with their clients who may be both parents and children. There is a detailed curriculum with five separate activities for elementary, middle school, and high school youth, or 15 activities in all. Sample letters to addicted parents appealing to them to support their children's participation in the program are provided. The Kit also contains videos, posters, fliers, and evaluation forms. (GCP)
