Remembrance Day

Remembrance Day
 
 
UPDATE

 

Our Ashfield Ceremony has been deferred until later in the year - probably October, and we will update Facebook and the website with further information once known.

The Kings Cross ceremony is going ahead on Tuesday 21st July 1pm, at the Lawrence Hargrave Reserve in Kings Cross. If there is bad weather on the day it will be cancelled.

Once known the Brisbane, Adelaide and Melbourne events will be posted on the website and Facebook.

The Remembrance Ceremonies are very important to FDS and we want to hold them if possible, but we also have to be conscious of the current restrictions. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Support the Family - Improve the Outcome

Support The Family – Improve The Outcome

Workshop Objectives:

 

  • Gain knowledge of successful 'Models of Change' for supporting families affected by someone’s drug issues.
  • Identify the 5 stages that families experience and effective ways to respond.
  • Learn how to communicate more effectively with families in a work and/or professional situation.
  • Develop understanding and gain skills to assist families to build resilience and improve the outcome for both the person who uses the drug and the family.
  • Recognise the importance of psycho-social education for a family, in relation to the significant barriers they may face.

 

Bookings are essential.

For bookings or to make enquiries, please phone the facilitator listed or follow the Eventbrite link.

Important Information

 FDS Update regarding Coronavirus (COVID-19)

 As FDS is a National organisation, we operate across a number of jurisdictions.

 We work with the information being provided to our workers in each state regarding

 re-opening of groups and courses.  Therefore, not all States will re-open at the same time.

 As our groups/courses/events re-open, our website will be the most up-to-date source of accurate information.

If you require support please call our Support Line:

 24/7 Telephone Line: 1300 368 186

We have protocols in place to ensure yours and our staff safety. Each venue determines the size of our groups and workshops. During this difficult time, if you are seeking any clarification please call the facilitator.

 We apologise for any inconvenience but assure you that as soon as we are able to, it is our priority to resume all our groups and courses on a regular, on-going basis.

 We appreciate your patience and wish everyone the very best during this period of uncertainty.

OTHER EVENTS
Remembrance Day
 
 
UPDATE

 

Our Ashfield Ceremony has been deferred until later in the year - probably October, and we will update Facebook and the website with further information once known.

 

The Kings Cross ceremony is going ahead on Tuesday 21st July 1pm, at the Lawrence Hargrave Reserve in Kings Cross. If there is bad weather on the day it will be cancelled.

 

Once known the Brisbane, Adelaide and Melbourne events will be posted on the website and Facebook.

 

The Remembrance Ceremonies are very important to FDS and we want to hold them if possible, but we also have to be conscious of the current restrictions.
