Coping with alcohol or drug use in the family can be very lonely and socially isolating
Our Family Support Groups provide an opportunity to connect with others who are having similar experiences.
Our support groups operate all year round in various locations around the state. (Note: support groups are currently running online).
Meeting regularly (fortnightly or monthly), they have an educational component and are a forum for you to share what’s going on for you in a supportive space.
Each group is facilitated by trained volunteer family members and are supported by FDH staff.
