PROJECT NAME: Responding to Methamphetamine Using Families in Child Welfare

ABSTRACT: Methamphetamine manufacture, use, and addiction and the effect on children and families, are serious problems confronting child welfare agencies across the nation. Similar to the crack epidemic of the 1980’s, the “meth problem” increases the risk of child maltreatment, impacts family functioning, and seriously threatens the safety and well-being of children. This study is reviewing the literature in an effort to better understand the impact of methamphetamine on children and families and to identify promising practices for working with families affected by methamphetamine use, abuse, and addiction.
