Dear Colleagues,
February 8 - 14 is National Children of Alcoholics (COA) Week. According to the National Clearinghouse for Alcohol and Drug Information, over 50% of
today's alcoholics are children of alcoholics. Not only are these children more likely
than their peers to develop alcoholism, they are at a higher risk to use other drugs.
Please feel free to forward this information to professional colleagues,
