6 ChiLdren’s Program Changing Lives – One ChiLd at a time Children are the most innocent victims to the disease of addiction. Growing up in a home where addiction is present, children learn to adapt by following the “Don’t Talk,” “Don’t Trust,” “Don’t Feel” attitude. In this way, the problem carries on from generation to generation. The Betty Ford Children’s Program ad- dresses the needs of children aged seven to twelve who love someone who suffers from addiction to alcohol or other drugs. Through age-appropriate activities, children learn that their parent’s disease is not their fault; they are not alone; and, there is hope. With ongoing support from donors to the Children’s Program, we are able to bring the program to children through schools and community organizations. Additionally, by offering community workshops and partnering with like-minded organizations, the Children’s Program raises awareness about addiction and offers guidance to professionals who work with children. Because more than 90% of participants in the program attend on scholarships, fundraising to underwrite program operations is ongoing. It is only because of the commitment of our donors that we can firmly maintain our goal that no child is ever turned away from the program due to an inability to pay. The national association for Children of alcoholics reports that more than 28 million americans are children of alcoholics or drug addicts! Children of addicted parents are in the highest risk group of children likely to become alcohol and drug abusers, due to both genetic and family environment factors. The goal of the Children’s Program is to in- terrupt the generational cycle of addiction in families – and in our communities! on the following page, you will find a list of donation opportunities to support the Children’s program. every donation makes a difference to children and families in need. “I used to think my Dad’s drinking was my fault, but now since I’ve been here…I know it isn’t.” facebook.com/BFCFoundation
