Trying to turn your life around from problematic drug use is
a brave
& difficult thing to do, it can be even harder if you can’t hang around
the people or places you used to.
You may feel bored, lonely or isolated (especially if you are stuck at home with young kids), & these things can be triggers that make you want to use. It’s a vicious circle.
You may not have any straight friends, & so it’s difficult to get back into the loop of social interaction that doesn’t revolve around drugs.
It feels intimidating to interact with
others who don’t
know what you’ve been through, or how you feel.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
‘The QuIHN's Womens Circle ’ is an informal,
non-judgemental space for women 20 & over with or without kids. We meet
once a week for conversation and a variety of activities, and aim to provide
a safe confidential space for you with your kids to connect with other women
in similar situations. You get to hang out in an environment that is relaxed
and comfortable, and much like a large group of
friends getting together to do fun things.
The Womens Circle Can Help!
The Womens Circle is NOT about:
“SAVING YOU”
• MAKING YOU SAY
OR DO ANYTHING YOU DON’T WANT TO DO
