Growing up in a family affected by addiction can be confusing and difficult for children to make sense of. Support can help your child process what they’re experiencing, build resilience and break cycles that may otherwise carry into their future.
For children living in difficult circumstances, the impacts may be seen in other spaces of their life. Substance abuse in the household can have follow-on impacts for children while at school, in their relationships, and for their self-esteem. These addiction issues may be intergenerational, and it can be hard to know what to do to break this cycle.
Substance abuse is challenging, however there is hope for both you and your child. Research has shown that there are effective, evidence-based treatments that can help individuals and their family affected by substance abuse. However, congratulations in taking the first step by reaching out for help. Focusing on the patterns and experiences in the family and for your child can help to turn things around, and create a different future.
