Course Description: The National Alliance for Drug Endangered Children defines drug endangered children (DEC) as children who are at risk of suffering physical or emotional harm as a result of illegal drug use—possession, manufacturing, cultivation, or distribution. There also may be children whose caretaker's substance misuse interferes with the caretaker’s ability to parent and provide a safe and nurturing environment.

Identifying Drug Endangered Children: A Collaborative Approach - The National Strategy for Drug Endangered Children focuses on the formation of multi-disciplinary partnerships that take advantage of existing agency personnel, resources, and responsibilities and coordinate their mutual interests and duties to meet the specific needs of these children. The focus on these children’s needs is throughout the entire process until the child is in a permanent, safe and positive functioning environment.
