New campaign bids to tell the stories of those who grew up in Ireland with parental alcohol misuse

Some 400,000 people in Ireland today are adult children from alcohol-impacted families, according to a lobby group, while HSE figures show roughly 200,000 young children are likely experiencing the harm associated with living with parental alcohol misuse.

Alcohol Action has launched ‘Silent Voices’, a new initiative to raise awareness of the experience of growing up in Ireland with parental alcohol misuse.
