Tuesday 23 March, Be careful what you wish for: Families, drugs and alcohol: involvement or support? London
Since it was established in 1984, Adfam has worked to support families affected by substance misuse. Over the past year, it has been evolving into an umbrella organisation, committed to representing the views of its supporters to policy makers and opinion shapers. As part of this development, Adfam has consulted with professionals and volunteers across a wide range of sectors to gather information about the issues which are crucial to the future of family support. These issues inform Adfam's manifesto, and reveal the challenges and debates for anyone who works with families where substance misuse is a matter of concern. For more information click here.
