Family members play an important role in supporting people with alcohol and drug problems. Balance between one’s own wellbeing and that of the person they are supporting can be challenging for family members.
In response to the needs of families impacted by substance abuse and other related conditions, the Family Alcohol and Other Drug Program offers a variety of complimentary services. Through the program, families are given the opportunity to come together and learn about substance abuse and other related conditions, and to gain the skills to cope with these issues more confidently and effectively.
Counselling is available for individuals, couples and families through the Family AOD Service. The person with the substance use problem can attend if they are comfortable doing so.
