It has been estimated that approximately 6 million youth live in a home in which a parent abuses alcohol or illegal drugs. There is research evidence that children of alcoholic parents are more likely than those without alcoholic parents to experience psychological problems, behavioral problems, and substance abuse problems. However, it is important to note that the majority of youth living with substance abusing parents will not experience significant difficulties.
The November 2006 issue of The Prevention Researcher examines the topic of youth with substance abusing parents. Throughout this issue, resiliency factors are examined and practical suggestions are given for supporting children of alcoholics by focusing on their strengths and assets.
