Description
Prevention begins with helping children of parents with substance use disorder heal. Trauma and chronic stress alter brain function and can lead to negative outcomes, including ineffective coping skills, lack of impulse control, attachment adjustment, and academic challenges. Identification is hindered by invisible stigma, family rules, and the child’s fears that no one will believe them. Availability and access to help is limited and decreases with poverty and other cultural factors. Children all have internalized protective and environmental factors that can be recognized and developed. Healing can begin with trauma-informed facilitators, often in educational support groups, who instill realistic hope by understanding and fostering children's resiliencies.
Presenter
Wendy Wade, PhD, LPCC, CADC, has facilitated educational support groups with children of parents with substance use disorder beginning in the 1980s and later at Betty Ford Center.

She has trained professionals and presented at addiction and counseling conferences for many years. She currently provides and co-develops trainings with the National Association of Children of Addiction. She is a professor at Palo Alto University teaching addiction counseling, among others. She has worked in community mental health agencies with children and families. For several years she volunteered bi-monthly as a counselor at Camp Mariposa for these children.
