\"\"<\/a>Prevention Works<\/strong> is offering information about services as part of Children of Addiction Awareness Week<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The week, which runs through February 18, honors the struggle of impacted kids and teenagers, and inspires countless others to understand they too can heal and thrive.<\/p>\n

The agency said that 1 in 4 children live in families impacted by parental addiction. They said with the support of caring adults, children can find hope and healing, and live in a healthier way.<\/p>\n

Prevention Works suggested reminding children of the 7 C\u2019s which are:
\nThey didn\u2019t cause it. They can\u2019t control it. They can\u2019t cure it, but they can help take care of themselves by communicating their feelings, making healthy choices, and celebrating who they are.<\/p>\n

Prevention Works offers confidential Intervention Services for youth ages 5-19 years old. Intervention services entail drug and alcohol education referrals if needed.<\/p>\n

There are also groups and other trained professionals that can help. To find Al-Anon<\/strong> or Alateen<\/strong> meetings (virtually or in-person) visit
