February
Children of Alcoholics Week is February 14-20, 2010 During Children of Alcoholics Week we bring added attention to the one in four children under age 18 who are exposed to a family alcohol problem, and the countless others who are affected by parental drug abuse. These children often live in homes that are stressful, sometimes frightening. They are sometimes abused, sometimes neglected. In preschool they have poorer language skills. In school they are at risk for being distracted, worried, and absent too frequently. Throughout life their health risks are greater – both mentally and physically. We set aside one week to help get this message out and the critical follow-up message that we as caring adults can make a difference in their lives. We invite you to celebrate Children of Alcoholics Week 2010 with us. Start by going to www.nacoa.org where you can download this year’s poster and find a list of Tools for COA Week Activities, including Suggested Activities and Resources.
If you, or someone you know, has a drinking - or drugging - problem we can help you get the help you need. Call us at 432-0090 Our Mission LEAF is committed to a healthy and safe Otsego County!
