Description

The Children of Alcoholics Foundation, a nonprofit organization founded in 1982, was created to serve and educate the millions of young and adult children from alcoholic families. The Foundation's purposes are to inform the public about children of alcoholics and to stimulate interest in seeking solutions to their problems; to promote research on alcoholism and its effects on children of alcoholics; and to encourage Federal, State, and local agencies to respond to the needs of these children. The Foundation also works to break the intergenerational cycle of alcoholism, focusing on prevention and early intervention. It is supported by contributions.
