Adfam Case Study Call: Inter-parental Conflict, Alcohol and Children

Submitted by Edie on 18 March 2019

Adfam, Tavistock Relationships and OnePlusOne are working on a project aiming to reduce the impact of inter-parental conflict on children in families affected by alcohol misuse.

They are looking for parents, whose partner has had issues with alcohol dependency, to share their story and talk about how this issue affected them as a couple, led to conflict and impacted on their children.

This will inform the development of an online digital platform to support other families going through similar experiences.

The FAQ sheet explores the background of the project and addresses any questions participants may have.

An Introduction to Working with Families, Drugs and Alcohol

Submitted by Edie on 11 February 2019
Liverpool

This training is for any practitioner that works with adult family members affected by drug and/or alcohol misuse. The day will familiarise participants with the impacts of substance use within families, and will provide practitioners with a range of brief intervention techniques to be used within families.

    By the end of the training participants will be able to:

    • Recognise the potential impact of substance use on families.

    • Identify behaviours associated with someone who cares for a substance user.

    • Identify the work they undertake with family members and the types of interventions they currently use.

    • Identify the best ways families can support each other at various stages of the ‘Cycle of Change’.

    • Consider the effectiveness of brief interventions models and their use with family members.

    • Use the Blue Light model to support a family member of someone affected by problematic drug or alcohol use.

    • Consider how to utilise the techniques they have learned in their practice with families.

    Adfam Survey: State of the Family Support Sector

    Submitted by Edie on 10 January 2019

    Adfam is running an important survey to examine the state of drug and alcohol family support sector and provide important data for Adfam’s advocacy and influencing work. The survey asks about funding, partnerships, and the kind of support being provided to families nationally.

    The survey can be completed by anyone who manages or works within a service supporting families affected by someone else’s drug or alcohol use. 

    This survey is open until Thursday 28 February 2019, after which point the findings will be written up into a report and disseminated nationally. 

    It will take around 15-20 minutes to complete.
