Every April, we talk about alcohol and alcohol misuse/ alcohol use disorder during Alcohol Awareness Month. But there’s a question we don’t ask often enough: What about the kids? Millions of children grow up in families affected by the impact of parental use. They notice the tension. They notice the broken promises. They worry when the parents they love have passed out, afraid they may not wake up. And too often, they quietly believe the drinking is somehow their fault. The good news: Children are incredibly resilient when they have support, safe spaces, and caring adults who listen. This Alcohol Awareness Month, let’s make sure children are part of the conversation. Learn more: https://nacoa.org/alcohol-awareness-month-must-include-children/

Children and teens are increasingly exposed to gambling through ads, social media, gaming apps, and online platforms. What may seem normal or entertaining can shape attitudes and increase risk later in life.

Prevention starts with conversation, education, and setting healthy boundaries. When adults talk openly and model responsible behaviors, we help young people build informed, confident decision-making skills. 🤝

When gambling becomes a problem, the impact can reach the entire family — creating financial stress, emotional tension, and broken trust. Loved ones may feel confusion, fear, or uncertainty about how to help.

No family should have to navigate that alone. Support and resources are available for both individuals and those who care about them. 🤝
