Information for children

The information in this part of the website is mainly aimed for adults concerned with an adult family member.

However most of it is still relevant for you, a young person dealing with a parent or carer's alcohol or drug problem.

One big difference is in the options you might have.  Adults do have more choices like whether they stay or leave the situation.  Those choices may be more limited for you.

The really important thing is you don't have to cope alone.  There is help in these pages and from the linked websites.  

Talking to someone you trust can really help, maybe a friend or another family member or someone like a teacher.

If you want to talk to someone in confidence there is a helpline where staff can listen and offer help: 0121 675 8000.
