Many kids across the US are excited about the upcoming storm. But others really struggle when inclement weather keeps them homebound when parents are struggling with the disease of addiction. These children - known as COAs - may feel frightened and alone; assuming that the turmoil in their home is all their fault. Remember a text or a call can make all the difference in the world. Or inviting them to enjoy the storm with you.

Martin Luther King Jr.'s attitude towards children was deeply rooted in hope, justice, and character; regarding them as the future. This is so important for children impacted by substance use disorders in their families. Together, we can shine a beacon of hope that healing is possible and recovery is waiting. The message that whatever your circumstances and your current abilities, you can in fact move forward can be transformative. Help today’s youth believe that better days are waiting.
