Millions of children live with disadvantaged, substance abusing parents, and parental substance abuse figures largely in many if not most child protection service and foster care cases. The financial and intangible costs are immense. Multiple state agencies and the courts may be involved with a single family, yet the field relationships may be strained, addressing the issues is challanging, and different agencies have different approaches and missions. The situation is made more difficult by the lack of prevalence and incidence data, and a dearth of structured research on promising approaches to the problem. | |||
Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of this session, the participant will be able to describe the relationship of parental substance abuse and child abuse, the multiple state agencies involved, the difficullties in addressing the issue, and give examples of some promising approaches. | |||
