Sometimes the impact of parental drug or alcohol use is not always obvious. Parental drug or alcohol use can affect children, young people and families in ways that are not always easy to see.
It can shape daily routines and a young person’s sense of stability, even when nothing looks “wrong” on the surface. Children may take on responsibilities beyond their years, or become skilled at hiding what’s happening at home. This can show up as anxiety, low self-esteem, or difficulty concentrating at school.
