'Sesame Street' is sparking conversations surrounding parental drug addiction as part of new initiative.
The new initiative is part of the"Sesame Street in Communities" program, which offers free resources for community providers and caregivers on various topics, including tough issues like homelessness and traumatic experiences, according to Sesame Workshop, the non-profit educational organization behind the popular children's show.
The resources deliver special words to children whose parents are battling addiction:"You are not alone. You will be taken care of. Addiction is a sickness and, as with any sickness, people need help to get better. And most importantly: It’s not your fault,""Sesame Street" said in a news release. In another video, Karli explains to Elmo and Chris how her mother attends meetings with other adults, while she attends a support group with other kids in her situation.
