FACT Families & Carers Together
Volunteers! Our Families & Carers across East Lancashire Need You Now!
It can be hard to know what to do or who to turn to when you think a close relative or friend is drinking too much or taking drugs. FACT is here to support families, friends and partners who are affected by someone else’s drug or alcohol use. We can offer Families, Friends & Partners confidential advice and support to explore their options through assessment, one to one support appointments, access to counselling and access to our peer led support groups. Our peer led ‘Here & Now’ group sessions provide families, friends & partners with the opportunity to speak with other people who know what it’s like. They can also hear from guest speakers with specialist expertise and explore issues that are directly affecting them through topic focused discussions.
