💙 When supporting someone who is using alcohol or other drugs, it’s natural to feel all the feels!

However when families come together to share information and support one another, we build collective wisdom that can guide us through tough times and foster meaningful friendships. 👩🏻‍🤝‍👨🏾

You’re not alone in this journey—let’s find strength together! 💪🏻✨

Call our 24/7 Support Line on 1300 368 186 or find a support group, Stepping Forwards workshop or Stepping Stones course at www.fds.org.au

Practice self-care every chance you get.
Find something you enjoy to do this weekend and give yourself some much needed time.
Try to do something that brings you joy and peace.
Take a walk,
Read a book,
Have a bubble bath,
Cuddle your furry friend.
Whatever it is, take time for you.
If you need support in your area, please go to our website! fds.org.au.

We support the Australian Medical Association (QLD)'s concerns over the government’s decision to shut down pill testing services and urge them to reconsider. While we wait for an independent report, let's listen to first responders and frontline medical practitioners, erring on the side of harm reduction.
