Children of Alcoholics week called for by charity

The National Association for Children of Alcoholics (NCAOA) have called for the 14th-20th February as 'Children of Alcoholics Week'.

'Children of Alcoholics Week is a campaign to raise awareness of the many difficulties faced by millions of children and adult children of alcohol-dependent parents in the UK often living in confusion and isolation. Growing up with a problem drinker in the family can have a lasting effect on the family as a whole. We want all those who are being, or have been, affected, to know that they are not alone and that help and understanding is available for them. Visit www.coaweek.org.uk.'

The campaign appears to have prompted an Observer article about the impact of alcohol misuse on children.

Call the NACOA for help on 0800 358 3456 or email NACOA Helpline.
