Family Drug Support (FDS), which has been providing specialised support services for family members coping with alcohol and drug dependents for more than 17 years, will offer the Stepping Forwards drug and alcohol course.
“I have seen the enormous difference this course makes to people’s lives,” program manager and course leader Julie Clark said. “They are stronger, better supported and have taken on skills to better manage their relationship with the user. This will in turn help the user towards better outcomes.”
The course will run from 9.30am-4.30pm this Saturday, April 28 in the Bathurst RSL Courtyard Room. To book, contact Ms Clark on 0400 113 422. Family Drug Support will also offer free monthly meetings at Bathurst Base Hospital starting from next month.
The meetings will teach coping skills and explain more about drug and alcohol dependence.
