Support for Carers and Families
If you care for or live with someone whose drug or alcohol use worries or affects you, you probably feel isolated, helpless and frustrated. You are not alone, and it doesn't mean you are a bad parent or carer.
All types of people use or misuse drugs and alcohol.
- If you are a parent of a young person under the age of 18, the young people's service can give you advice, information and support
- Families Also Matter (FAM) is a support service to families in South Gloucestershire (provided by DHI) which offers practical and emotional support to help you cope, and the chance to meet other people experiencing similar issues. Groups meet regularly in Warmley and Yate and a one-to-one service is also available.
