Children exposed to substance abuse by parents and caregivers are at high risk of social, psychological, cognitive and behavioral issues. This makes a strong child-caregiver bond all the more important and all the more challenging, especially for caregivers already struggling with sobriety. Add in the stresses of a global pandemic on top of an opioid epidemic and the need for help is clear. Especially since children of caregivers suffering from substance abuse disorder are roughly twice as likely to repeat the cycle.
