Description
Millions of children live in homes affected by familial substance use, facing daily negative impacts. These children experience significant trauma, and without intervention and support from various professionals, their suffering may go unnoticed and unaddressed. In the United States, one in eight children lives with at least one parent struggling with a substance use disorder. As a result, they are three times more likely to experience abuse and four times more likely to suffer neglect compared to peers in substance-free households. Despite being the first to feel the effects of a family member’s addiction, these children are often the last to receive help and support. Professionals are uniquely positioned to identify these vulnerable children and provide them with a path toward healing rather than continued trauma.

This training will provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of substance use disorder (SUD), the intergenerational cycle of addiction, and the vital importance of early identification and intervention. It will cover strategies and tools for effective engagement and building supportive connections. Key objectives include recognizing trauma and its impacts, identifying at-risk children, using non-stigmatizing language, connecting families with essential resources, and prioritizing self-care. Emphasizing practical strategies and compassionate approaches, the training equips professionals with the necessary tools to respond effectively and sensitively, promoting positive, lasting outcomes for vulnerable children, youth, and the professionals supporting them.
