You can participate in discussion and reflection without any expectation to share personal details. \nYou will also have a chance to connect with other carers who understand the experience and learn more about the Ringwood Family Drug Support Group and ongoing support available from Family Drug Support. \nThis event is for family members\, carers and significant others of people using alcohol and/or other drugs. Your person does not need to be in treatment\, seeking help or making changes for you to attend. \nPlease RSVP via Eventbrite by Friday 9 October. Places are limited and catering will be provided.
