Caring for someone who uses alcohol or drugs can have a huge impact on your life; emotionally, mentally, and physically. We know how demanding caring can be and actively encourage taking time out.
Taking a break gives you time to look after yourself and stops you becoming exhausted and run down. Taking time for yourself enables you to recharge your batteries, re-energise yourself to approach situations positively and helps you to support your family member effectively.
We believe that self-care is not an optional extra. It is vital that you take the time to look after yourself. We provide different opportunities to enable you to do so, including:
We also can help you to discover and try out new hobbies and interests online or in your own community.
