Substance Abuse and Human Trafficking

Children at the intersection of substance abuse and/or human trafficking are left incredibly vulnerable, with a need for serious support for their mental health and well-being. This series is designed to equip adults with provide critical guidance on the mental health and well-being needs of children impacted by these issues.

The Challenge

1 in 8 children under the age of 18 have lived in households with at least one parent who has substance use disorder (SUD). Adults battling substance abuse, as well as their children, are frequently the victims of human trafficking.

The COVID-19 pandemic has only introduced new challenges for people with SUD, which has in turn directly exacerbated the domestic child human trafficking crisis.

Our Response

In response to this call, The National Alliance for Drug Endangered Children and No Limit Generation (NLG) partnered to create this series to provide critical guidance and support for children impacted by substance abuse and/or human trafficking. By learning about evidence-based practices to support children, adults are equipped with a higher level of mental health literacy, making them more likely to seek necessary professional help for a child in such traumatic situations.
