NEW Health Hosts Substance Abuse in the Family Support Group

North End Waterfront Health’s Behavioral Health Department is starting a Substance Abuse in the Family support group for those with relatives suffering from drug and alcohol abuse.

The group will offer a private space for individuals to share their thoughts and experiences, to provide support to one another and to gain coping skills for dealing with stress and difficult family situations.

Group members will benefit from hearing from others whom are grappling with similar family issues. Staff from the Behavioral Health Department at NEW Health will facilitate the group and all discussions will be confidential.
