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.
This one day training looks at brief interventions for working with families affected by drug and alcohol use. This course is designed for everyone working with adult family members affected by someone else’s drug or alcohol use. No previous experience required.

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is often misunderstood and stigmatized, with 60-80% of individuals having additional mental health conditions. This overlap complicates ADHD management and is linked to increased substance use risks. Key factors include impulsivity and sensation seeking, self-medication for symptom relief, neurobiological differences in brain function, and co-occurring disorders like conduct and mood disorders.
