Say It Anyway - The NACOSA Podcast
When parents use drugs
Do you know a parent who uses drugs? Be honest – did you judge them? Parents are responsible for nurturing and caring for their children so when you hear of a parent who uses drugs, you are bound to have thoughts. And questions.
This second episode in our series on “Parenting and Drug Use” goes deep into the topic of parents who use drugs. Their struggles, their heartbreaks, the love they have for their children and how a new parenting programme is helping them to be better and more present parents. You will meet courageous parents who are navigating this difficult journey and the people who are supporting them. Your host is Kalvanya Padayachee.
NACOSA's People Who Use Drugs programme focuses on harm reduction for health and does not provide drug rehabilitation or other substance use support services. If you or someone you know needs help with any of the issues discussed in this episode, please contact:
