Description

A new pilot service for families and carers of people with drug or alcohol problems has just started in the City. Uniquely, the support and information is provided by other carers with experience of substance misuse. Fully trained, CRB-checked and supervised by ASC staff, the peer supporters will be matched with carers who need a listening ear, basic information and support in getting help from professional organisations. Carers will be able to refer themselves in or be referred by any organisation they are in touch with. For further information, please contact Michelle Kennedy (Substance Misuse Service User and Carer Development Officer) on 0161 819 2020 or by email michelle.kennedy@manchester.gov.uk
