Adolescent Children of Alcoholic Parents
The Prevention Researcher,
Volume 13, Number 4, 2006
In the United States, an estimated 6 million youth live in a home in which a parent abuses alcohol or some other drug. While some youth with alcoholic parents experience problems, the majority do not, and in fact, do quite well. This issue explores the effects of having a substance abusing parent with a focus on understanding why most youth are resilient and how we can support adolescent children of alcoholics to facilitate their positive growth.
