ADFAM
Adfam offers sessions of one-one support to adults living in Coventry affected by a loved one’s drug or alcohol use.
These sessions allow you to explore how your loved one’s drug or alcohol use is affecting you and to get support in making changes, if you wish.
Adfam’s experienced worker listens to you and can work through a range of topics that other people in similar situations have found helpful. They will work with you to plan a way forward and may suggest further support or advice if this will help.
These sessions are offered via Zoom or by phone.
