Family Support - You're Not Alone

In this episode of Breaking the Stigma, we turn the focus to the people often affected but less often heard - families.Hosted by Jacqueline Stewart from the ADP Support Team, this episode features Angela Robertson, Chief Executive of Alcohol and Drug Support South West Scotland (ADSSWS), Elizabeth McColm, who works within the Being There family support service, and Sarah, who shares her experience of supporting a loved one.Together, they explore the real impact that drugs and alcohol can have on families, emotionally, practically, and day to day. The conversation highlights the challenges families face, the importance of feeling heard and supported, and how services like Being There  provide vital help across Dumfries and Galloway.With a mix of professional insight and lived experience, this episode offers reassurance, understanding and practical guidance for anyone supporting someone affected by substance use.Whether you are a parent, partner, friend, or working within services, this episode is a reminder that you are not alone, and that support is available for families too.Because when one person is affected, so are many others.For more information and local support, visit dgadp.co.uk.For Alcohol & Drug Support South West Scotland https://www.adssws.co.uk/For Being There Family Support: https://www.adssws.co.uk/being-there/Produced by Your Fairy Podmother®️www.fairypodmother.co.uk
