Being the Child of an Alcoholic - with Alumna, Christina

Last month saw Nacoa’s National COA week, which highlights the plight of over 2.5 million children who have a parent or caregiver who drinks too much. Sadly, those who are affected by their parent’s drinking are impacted all year round.  This episode features our wonderful Alumni, Christina, who has been kind enough to share with us her experience of growing up with an alcoholic mother, and how this shaped her life and eventual recovery. We will be covering topics including suicide, suicide childhood trauma in this episode. Nacoa: Support and Advice https://nacoa.org.uk/support-advice/ Alumni support resources:  https://www.ukat.co.uk/help-guides/ukat-resource-list/ Suicide support: https://www.nhs.uk/mental-health/feelings-symptoms-behaviours/behaviours/help-for-suicidal-thoughts/
