There is power in our stories.
My name is Josh Connolly and I am an ambassador for Nacoa . You can find out much more about me at my website.
Having grown up the child of an alcohol dependant, I suffered first hand from the affects of childhood trauma, later facing my own battle with alcohol and ill mental health. I have now turned my life around and am a helpline councillor at Nacoa and the creator of the online community coaisathing.com. I now speak nationally on the topic of childhood trauma, specifically as a child of an alcohol abuser. I have had the opportunity to speak on a number of different media outlets including BBC, Channel 4, Channel 5, ITV, Sky News and a host of national radio stations, as well as at conferences and gave the lecture at the launch of the first ever manifesto for children of alcoholics and work closely with MP’s at the House of Commons to bring awareness and support to children affected by alcohol.
