This research study was commissioned by the Family Addiction Support Network (FASN) and funded by the Health Services Executive (HSE) Social Inclusion Division. The study conducted 3 focus groups, interviewed 14 adult family members affected by substance misuse in the North East Region and 11 staff from a range of organisations working with families.
The purpose of the study was:
- to identify and understand the ways families affected by substance misuse seek support
- to improve awareness and understanding of how substance misuse affects family members
- to give families a voice and recognition that family members should be seen as part of a whole family unit, not separately
- to guide the provision of services within the FASN organisation and help to change and/or influence the regional and national drug strategies on family support issues.
