Caring For Someone Who Uses Alcohol or Drugs

As part of Celebrating Families Week, Scottish Families Affected by Alcohol and Drugs are hosting a free training session with team member Daryl McLeister.

Caring for someone who uses alcohol or drugs can be challenging and isolating. Sometimes it’s hard to find and speak to the right professionals. We will explore the unique needs of carers in this caring situation and the types of support available to you.

The session will cover:
• Caring for someone who uses alcohol and drugs
• Your rights as a carer
• Family inclusive practice
• Family support
• Taking action and advocacy

This session is open to anyone who is affected by this issue, including carers and professionals.

Care Opinion Logo

Health & Social Care North Lanarkshire has signed up to Care Opinion, a website which allows patients to share their stories online.

Care Opinion is an independent, not-for-profit, website that gives patients and carers a way of voicing what they think of the services they receive.

We will listen to positive and negative comments and respond to those in a way that is honest, supportive and constructive.

We will use this feedback to make our services in North Lanarkshire the best they can be.
