Great reminders of things you can do every single day to be kind and gentle to yourself. It's a great practice for anyone who has been impacted by addiction as we continue to take good care of ourselves and be healthy in mind, body, and spirit. #SelfCare #RecoveryMonth #COAs

About us
The people hurt most by drugs and alcohol don't even use them; they are the CHILDREN impacted by parental substance use disorders. The National Association for Children of Addiction (NACoA) believes that none of these vulnerable children should grow up in isolation and without support. NACoA is the national nonprofit 501 (c) 3 membership and affiliate organization working on behalf of children of alcohol and drug dependent parents. Our mission is to eliminate the adverse impact of alcohol and drug use on children and families. • We work to raise public awareness. • We provide leadership in public policy at the national, state, and local levels. • We advocate for appropriate, effective and accessible education and prevention services. • We facilitate and advance professional knowledge and understanding.

On August 31st each year, the world unites to remember those we have lost to overdose. We take this time to educate about the risks and emphasize the importance of prevention. We lose far too many to overdose each year, and many of them are parents. In May, NIDA (the National Institute on Drug Abuse)confirmed that more than 320,000 children in the United States have lost a parent to a drug overdose from 2011 to 2021. Learn more about how we must rally together to be there for the children so tragically impacted by overdose: https://lnkd.in/ec9Bfzbw
