Thank you to everyone for spreading the word during COA Week 2013
We reached many people who hadn’t heard previously about Children of Alcoholics Week or organisations offering support such as Nacoa and COAP. We received some lovely new additions to our Celeb support page, had some excellent media coverage and enjoyed some exciting and informative events.
Date for your diary: next COA Week 9-15 February 2014
We can’t wait to see what next year has in store! Please contact us if you want to get involved or have any ideas to share. Or perhaps you would like to plan your own COA Week event?
Together we can make COA Week bigger and better, letting more children know they are not alone.
For support and ideas on how to help year round, please see Nacoa.

Message from Jerry Moe Vice President, Betty Ford Center and author of Understanding Addiction and Recovery Through a Child’s Eyes
“Happy COA Week to all my dear friends and colleagues in the U.K. I especially salute the work of Nacoa during this special time of year. They are making such a huge difference by reminding children of all ages that they are not alone, addiction is not their fault, and there are safe people and places to turn to for help. For so many, Nacoa is a safe haven for help and hope.”
