Adfam National Forum - Women in Treatment

Adfam organises forum events for practitioners and professionals with an interest in supporting families affected by substance use or gambling.

At each forum we focus on a unique topic relating to families and substance use, inviting a guest speaker with expertise in that topic, followed by a Q&A and wider discussion.

At our latest event we will be focusing on the experiences of women using substance use treatment services. We are delighted to be joined by guest speaker Lydia Clark, Senior Research Officer at the Centre for Justice Innovation. 

During the event Lydia will be presenting findings from their latest report, “To be listened to… And actually heard” - Women's perspectives on effective substance use treatment and support. This research explores what a better system of substance use treatment would look like from the perspective of women in treatment.
