A Family Affair - Supporting children living with parental substance misuse. Report of the conference that took place in Dublin in November 2011
Executive Summary
This conference originated from the findings of a literature review carried out by Dr. Justine Horgan,
Senior Researcher National Advisory Committee on Drugs on the impact of parental substance misuse on
children. The main finding of this review was that parental substance misuse can, and does, negatively
impact on the health, development and welfare of children including both abuse and neglect. As
children’s welfare and protection is a major governmental and societal priority, this conference was
timely and the invitation by the NACD to the HSE and Alcohol Action Ireland to become co-sponsors of the
conference ensured the widest possible dissemination of the findings.
