Mental Health Commission

The Volunteer Support Network is made up of Parent & Family Peer Volunteers who are part of the Parent and Family Drug Support Line, our helpline is for parents and families concerned about a loved one's alcohol or other drug use. In addition to professional counsellors, people calling the support line can speak to one of our trained Parent Peer Volunteers who have experienced their own child’s alcohol or drug use. Parent & Family Peer Volunteers also facilitate peer support groups in the community that help people to learn new strategies, tools and skills to help cope with their situations. These groups are free, and any family member or significant other who is affected by someone else’s alcohol or drug use can attend.
