Finding Help for a Child

Talking to your child or student about alcohol, other drugs and gambling can be challenging. It’s hard to know where to start, but AADAC is here to help.

Here are some questions you may be asking yourself:

How can I help my child if my partner is addicted?
What if my child asks about alcohol, other drugs or gambling?
What if I think my child may be experimenting?
What if my child may have a problem?
Where do I start?
What treatment support is available?

If you are concerned about alcohol, tobacco, other drug and/or gambling problems contact your local AADAC office Monday to Friday during office hours, or phone the 24-hour AADAC Help Line at 1-866-332-2322 (Alberta only).
