Abstract

ABSTRACTChildren of substance abusing parents (COSAPs) are in need of supportive services but are rarely the focus of targeted interventions within a family context. This study is a pilot evaluation of the Renascent Children's Program, a family-based group program for COSAPs in Canada. Participants (N = 26) were assessed at baseline and at 1–3 month follow-up on a number of key child, parent, and family outcomes. Results demonstrated significant improvements in child well-being, parenting style, emotion regulation, and family functioning, with large effect sizes. These findings suggest that this program is an effective method of intervention for families struggling with addiction and recovery with school-age children.
