Having someone you care about who uses substances can create many problems for families and carers.

The stigma and shame associated with substance use often means families and carers suffer in silence, creating severe isolation which can then result in depression and other associated health problems.

ARC runs a 6-week family support group for individuals impacted by a loved one’s substance/alcohol use.

During these 6 weeks, you will gain a deeper understanding of addiction, how to put in place realistic and enforceable boundaries, and how to look after yourself both now and in the future.

 

** Only one member per household per 6-week group **

 

Topics covered will include:

 

Understanding Addiction
Enabling
Communication
Boundaries
Looking after yourself
The importance of community
