September is Recovery Month. With more than a quarter of those participating in the ACE study detailing addiction in the family, and addiction commonly co-occuring with numerous additional ACEs, it is important to raise the awareness in the general community about the impact of parental addiction, and how family recovery can be celebrated during this important month.
SAMHSA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration ) and many agencies, treatment centers and organizations across the country have been busy throughout the month of September. NACoA (National Association for Children of Addiction) has as well, emphasizing family recovery for this month’s social media campaign, and resources to make available to your communities.

Between the NACoA staples that always provide strong support for families – Kit for Parents, Kit for Kids, and our brochure It’s Not Your Fault -- and the materials available for Recovery Month, there are plenty of tools available to enhance the family recovery message this month (and throughout the year).
Of particular note is the Family Recovery Means... list and the poster Children Learn What They Live. Stay connected throughout the month on Facebook, Twitter, and Linkedin, as we post messages emphasizing the family and empowering every member of the family to recover from the inter-generational trauma of addiction and live healthier lives.
