CADAS Family Service
Is addiction impacting your family?
We work with you to tackle unhealthy habits and addictions and support you to create a better environment for you and your loved ones.
The CADAS Family Service works directly with parents, carers and children whose lives are affected by addiction. Support is tailored to each family and can include parenting
guidance, emotional wellbeing support,1-1 sessions with children and help connecting families with other local services.
We are bridging a gap in service, working holistically with families to reduce the harmful impact of addiction on the lives of the children.
Families are supported over time to develop practical strategies that strengthen relationships, improve routines and help parents feel more confident in their role.
