'Families First' for Wokingham support with substance misuse
An estimated seven million people are affected by someone else’s substance misuse – usually family members, friends or colleagues. Their needs are often overlooked when addressing substance misuse, but they have an important part to play in the process of recovery.
Wokingham Borough Council’s drug action team (DAT) is inviting anyone who is affected by another person’s substance misuse to ‘Families First’ – a free drop-in event at Wokingham Methodist Centre, Rose Street, Wokingham, on Monday May 21 from 10am to 4pm. The day will include workshops on addiction awareness, overdose training and a family’s cycle of change, as well as opportunities to meet professionals, find out about local services and support groups and talk to others who have been affected by substance misuse.
Anyone who would like to attend Wokingham ‘Families First’ should contact DAT officer Laura Fairbairn on (0118) 974 3795 or 07799 348283. Those who attend will be dealt with in confidence and will not be asked to disclose personal information.
