SAFE SPACES EDUCATION & INFORMATION SESSIONS

Safe Spaces Education and Information provides an opportunity for families and friends to hear from guest speakers who will share information on an array of topics, including but not limited to how you can support someone living with a particular diagnoses, and or co-occurring Alcohol and Other drugs,

and what services are out there and how they can support you and the person you support.

So that our sessions remain true to the experience of family members and friends, these sessions are not open to service providers or consumers.
