Adfam is thrilled to announce its new service for families affected by substance use living in Coventry, delivered in partnership with Change, Grow, Live.
The service, officially launched on 9 April, provides remote 1:1 support for people living in Coventry that are affected by a loved one’s substance use.
This new service helps people to find ways of coping with their loved one’s substance use, explore their experiences and get support with the many challenges of having a loved one with a substance use problem.
Some of the topics people may explore during the sessions include:
1. A chance to ‘vent’ and express your feelings.
2. Understanding addiction and why your loved one may make choices that are hard to understand.
3. How best to support your loved one (if you want to).
4. Support to cope with overwhelming feelings.
5. How to communicate positively and reduce conflict with your loved one.
6. What to expect from treatment services.
7. How to rebalance things to make some space for you.
8. How to support and explain things to children.
