Description

Research has repeatedly demonstrated correlations between parental substance misuse and increased risk of child maltreatment. In historically impoverished, rural communities, this risk is compounded by poor system integration, resource deficits, and negative structural and social determinants of health often experienced across generations of families. This webinar will discuss the implications of parental substance misuse from a trauma-informed, harm reduction perspective. In this session, the presenters will provide specific information related to the risks and potential negative outcomes experienced by drug-endangered children, as well as identify generational trends often present in families experiencing such adversity. The presenters will also propose strategies for mitigating risk and safety hazards with consideration for best practices in supporting and maintaining the safety and wellness of the family unit.
