First Response Family Forums
Given the wide interest, we have release a new calendar for the EDAS First Response Family Forums.
·Is substance use becoming an issue in your family?
·Is it impacting on mental health?
·Are you concerned about your family and want to know what to do?
·Not sure if there is an issue, but would like some information?
First Response is a 2 hour information and discussion forum to assist families recognising an emerging issue of substance use in their family. The program is a good option for families who may not be ready for therapy and who want up to date information.
