This brochure will help prepare parents or social workers to take the first step in discussing alcohol problems with their child/children they work with.
It guides how to answer the following questions:
- Why does my mom or dad drink so much?
- What does it feel like to drink alcohol? How does it feel to be drunk?
- Why am I so confused about how I feel? Why do I worry so much?
- Why is the alcohol problem a secret?
- Can my mom or dad stop drinking so much? Can people get better?
- Is there anything I can do to make my mom or dad better?
- Why do people drink so much when they know it will hurt them or others?
- Whom can I talk to? Where can I go to for help? What do I do if I don’t feel safe?
- When I grow up, will I have an alcohol problem too?
- What can I do so that I don’t ever have an alcohol problem?
