Substance Misuse

What is it like caring about someone who misuses drugs and/or alcohol?

Use your experience to improve the support and services provided to you and your relative or friend.

Come along to our Family Matters events and carer workshops and we can help you to influence the development and commissioning of these services by enabling you to:

  • Meet other family carers and share your experiences
  • Raise issues that concern you
  • Talk to treatment service providers and commissioners
  • Have the opportunity to be involved in the planning and delivery of events for family carers
  • Talk to paid staff in treatment service providers about what it's like to live with someone else's addiction
