This Fierce Love is coming to Angus on
delivered through Scottish Families Affected by Drugs and Alcohol.
Scottish Families have a big ambition: No more hidden families. They are hosting an in-person event at the Reid Hall, Forfar which tells a family member’s story of living with problematic alcohol and drug use. This is an interactive workshop event where we will listen to this story then discuss and reflect on what we have heard together. Scottish Families are raising awareness of families’ experiences and creating opportunities for families to be seen and heard. We believe that recognising, supporting, and including families is the change we need to see in Scotland to reduce alcohol and drug-related harm. This event is open to all, including practitioners. We hope you can join us.
