FAMILY Drug Support will mark 20 years of supporting families at its annual National Family Drug Support Day to be held at events across Australia on 23 and 24 February 2017.
2017 marks the 20th anniversary of the death of Damien Trimingham from a heroin overdose in 1997, a tragedy which was the catalyst for his father, Tony Trimingham, to establish Family Drug Support.
Mr Trimingham will use the lead up to National Family Drug Support Day to share his learnings and observations from his years of working with families adversely affected by drug and alcohol use through the service he founded, Family Drug
The three objectives of the National Family Drug Support Day are to:
* Reduce stigma and discrimination for families and drug users
* Promote family drug support services for families and friends
* Promote harm reduction strategies for families and friends
More details are available at FAMILY DRUG SUPPORT (FDS).
