Mum Loves Drugs, Not me - Channel 4 Dispatches 3rd November

Sun, 02/11/2008 - 22:19 — emma

This programme which will be on Channel four Dispatches will be looking at the devastating impact that parental drug addiction has on young peoples lives and childhoods which COAP has not watched yet! The film will hear directly from some of the young people affected by their parents drug misuse. It is so important that programmes like this raise awareness about what it is like for young people living with someone else's addiction and drug misuse. As there are thousands of young people living in fear and without support. COAP really hopes that if any young people watch this programme and would like some support that they find it!!!

If you have watched the programme and would like to talk to other young people who are also affected by their parents drugs misuse use or alcohol use as well as other addictions. Then sign up and join the growing COAP community and talk to others who understand...YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!!
