Here in Clondalkin Tús Nua we fully understand the impact problematic substance use has on relationships and living environments.

Our Family Support Service supports all family members including parents, siblings, partners and grandparents.

Family Support is an integral element of the service our project provides.

Our aim is to support Family Support service users with an outlet and information to help equip them to manage problematic substance use and support others effected in the home by this.

This support takes the form of one to one sessions, crisis intervention, education/therapeutic workshops, referrals for counselling, group support, and much more.

Our facilitated Family Support groups are held:

  • Tuesday mornings 10am – 12pm
  • Wednesday evenings 6.30pm – 8.30pm

Through one to one sessions the family support worker is able to assess and identify the individual family members needs, develop a specific care plan and implement the supports needed.

Through family support groups we foster peer support from within the community and help family members develop crucial networks of peer support and friendship which help to minimize the feelings of isolation and self blame which are so common around problem substance use in the family.
