Join
FDS and support our efforts to help families and friends
of current drug users as well as bereaved families.
Family support is a key factor in motivating drug users
to control or reduce their drug use and move to a drug-free
life.
We
recognise the vital role that families and friends play
in helping drug users maintain good health and regain
a normal life. We help families by providing information
and appropriate support through our telephone support
line and the FDS Insight bulletin.
Family
Drug Support have also produced a parent help and information
kit entitled A Guide To Coping to aid
parents, families and friends of drug users. The kit
was designed to fill the serious gap in the availability
of information and support. This resource also provides
help on how to deal with crisis situations such as overdose
and up-to-date information on treatment options.
We
believe that by helping families of drug users we are
ultimately helping the user. To achieve this we need your
support. We mostly run on a volunteer basis with a small
grant from the government. Therefore your subscription
and/or donation will enable our organization to continue
its work.
Membership benefits include:
A free copy of the Guide To Coping, FDS Insight
bulletin for 12 months, invitations to events and discounts
on activities and groups. Membership is $30 for the

Kit for a cost of $15 each (qty 1-19) or $12 (qty 20
