Meet the Man That Helps the Youngest Members of This Family Disease Get Much-needed Support.
On today's episode, Jerry Moe, the Executive Director of the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation's National Children's Program, shares some of his story. Jerry has such a passion for helping the children of this family disease.
The alarming statistics in the US show 5.7 million children under age 11 live in households with a parent who has a substance abuse disorder, and a third of those enter foster care as a result.
The need for children to receive education, support seems obvious. Yet, as Jerry shares, they are often the last to gain this vital help.
