Our course advisors worked with family members to design, deliver and evaluate the project to ensure that it was helpful and relevant to participants needs. The Discovery College Peer Support Facilitator has completed the course and worked together with Scottish Families Affected by Alcohol and Drugs to train in the course facilitation and delivery. We will learn with you and tailor the course to suit the needs of the families we will be supporting.EligibilityAnyone who is affected by another person’s drug or alcohol use is warmly welcomed – that includes biological and non-biological families, BAME families, LGBT+ people and families, families with or without children, friends, partners, siblings, young people, older people, foster carers, kinship carers, neighbours, work colleagues, etc. We hope to make the Family Recovery College accessible to all. Please do not hesitate to contact us if there is anything additional we can do to make you feel welcomed and included.Why the Family Recovery College is importantFamilies and concerned significant others often take on the primary role of caring for or supporting their loved one. Due to the secrecy, shame and stigma of supporting a loved one with problematic drug and alcohol use often there is little acknowledgement or support for those doing the supporting. Many people find themselves experiencing long-term mental health and physical health conditions, often related to the challenges and stress of their caring role. We hope that the Family Recovery College will enable students to feel empowered to support both themselves and their loved one.
