Learning outcomes:
Adfam forum events are open to anyone with an interest in supporting families affected by substance use, and seek to shine a light on a range of key topics relating to families and substance use.
Join us at our latest event where we will be focusing on parental substance use and the impact on children.
The Addiction and the Family International Network (AFINet) promotes, through research, practice and policy, the well-being of family members, friends and colleagues who are affected by, and/or concerned about another person’s problems with or addiction to alcohol, drugs or gambling.
The stigma of drug and alcohol use within some minoritised communities can create barriers to treatment, leading to poorer health outcomes and inequality of access to support needed.
Join our guest speakers as they talk about this and answer your questions on some of the complexities involved in additional barriers to accessing support. All welcome.

This presentation delves into the profound impact of parental addiction on children, offering a comprehensive understanding and appreciation of their unique experiences. Growing up in an environment of addiction subjects children to significant trauma and chronic, unmanaged stress, leading to lifelong effects.
