ABOUT US

Mission: To increase public awareness and recognition of the special needs of children of alcoholics  (COAs) of all ages --- especially those who are too young to speak for themselves.

The Delaware Association for Children of Alcoholics (DACOA) was established as a nonprofit corporation in October, 1987, and, 20 years later, is the leading voice advocating at the state and local level for children of alcoholics. The association is dedicated to assisting children of alcoholics by promoting public awareness and understanding of their special needs and problems. DACOA provides seminars and free literature and makes treatment referrals throughout the state of Delaware.
