The Sesame Street in Communities website, which launched in 2015, has free resources in English and Spanish, including videos and downloadable coloring pages, for families and providers to teach children about difficult topics in a sensitive way.
"Through Sesame Street in Communities, we work with a wide range of partners serving vulnerable families, and we had heard from our partners that there were few resources for young children affected by parental addiction," a spokesperson for Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit education organization behind Sesame Street, wrote in an email.
The opioid crisis is hitting both urban and rural communities in the U.S. hard — with 130 Americans dying every dayfrom an opioid overdose, according to the CDC.
“Addiction is often seen as a ‘grown-up’ issue, but it impacts children in ways that aren’t always visible. Having a parent battling addiction can be one of the most isolating and stressful situations young children and their families face,” said Sherrie Westin, president of social impact and philanthropy for Sesame Workshop, in a press release.
Unfortunately, America's opioid crisis isn't going away anytime soon. But Sesame Streetis providing kids with the tools to understand and talk about this epidemic.
