Children Affected by Familial Substance Use Deserve Support and Hope

Children may feel invisible, responsible, or unsure who they can trust. They may not have the words to explain what is happening at home, and the adults around them may not recognize the signs.

Every child deserves to be seen, heard, and supported.

NACoA Helps Adults Know What to Do

The National Association for Children of Addiction equips teachers, counselors, faith leaders, caregivers, and community professionals with the language, tools, and evidence-based programs they need to recognize what a child may be experiencing and respond with compassion.

NACoA also gives children resources that help them understand:

  • They did not cause the substance use in their family
  • They cannot control it
  • They are not alone

Your Gift Creates a Path to Support

When you give to Voices of the Unheard, you help NACoA:

  • Train adults who may be the first safe person a child turns to
  • Expand evidence-based programs created for children affected by familial substance use
  • Provide practical resources for schools, faith communities, treatment settings, and caregivers
  • Create digital tools children and families can access wherever they are
  • Build greater awareness of the needs of children growing up with substance use in their families

Help a Child Be Seen and Heard

A child may be carrying a story they do not know how to tell.

Your support helps create the moment when someone notices, listens, and knows how to help. It gives children the reassurance that what is happening is not their fault and that support is available.

Give today and help a child feel seen, heard, and less alone.
