FAQs
What is a family support group?
It doesn't hurt to connect with someone with the same experience as you during tough times. A family support group supports family members who have a loved one experiencing substance use or other mental health issues. This will provide emotional and mental support to its members via the Confidant Health App.
Some people prefer internet communities over face-to-face meetings because they are more at ease discussing personal issues. In certain cases, they're used in conjunction with face-to-face sessions.
How can a family support group be helpful?
The importance of family engagement cannot be overstated. The sooner you get engaged and get help for yourself if you have a loved one who is addicted, the better. A virtual family support group won’t require you to come to a place weekly; therefore, it won’t be a hassle.
Family support groups can be helpful for people who are scared to open up in person. They could be more at ease telling and sharing stories about their experiences virtually from their own safe space.
Do I need to join a family support group?

Loving someone addicted to drugs or alcohol may be intensely painful and unpredictable. Thus, a family support group can be your way to cope and stay calm. Joining a group will provide you with a lot of information regarding substance misuse; thus, you will understand things deeper. Check out our support groups for more details.
Why should people around the person in recovery also join a family support group?

Families of those with behavioral health disorders might benefit from support groups specifically for them. Keeping in mind that you are not the only one who has gone through what you are going through will help you get the assistance you need.
