Support for families faced with problematic drug use
A Guide to Coping is a comprehensive resource for families with practical strategies for coping with drug use.
This 94 page resource is a collaborative effort between QuIHN and Family Drug Support, and developed in consultation with families directly affected by someone else’s drug use.
A Guide to Coping is based on a demand reduction approach, with information on how families can help a user to reduce or cease their use.
It is also based on a harm reduction philosophy, and provides useful strategies for families, even when a family member does not yet plan to make any changes to their drug use, is heavily drug-dependent, and/or injecting illicit drugs.
