Children whose parents misuse substances such as drugs and alcohol are more likely to experience problems with their mental health – and to misuse substances themselves.
That’s according to the National Advisory Committee on Drugs (NACD), which also said such children are likely to experience problems with social skills and academic achievement.
While launching a new report by the NACD, its Director Joan O’Flynn said that there is a need for more integrated working between addiction services, children’s services and medical professionals to help reduce the negative impact of parental drug and alcohol misuse on children and the wider family.
