Family Drug Support (FDS) is looking for people to volunteer on our 24/7 National Support Line for families & carers supporting someone with substance use issues.

The role

FDS aims to reduce isolation and stigma associated with substance use. We respect differences and recognise there is no one 'right' way to provide support someone who is using alcohol or other drugs. Our volunteers aim to: be active listeners, display empathy, be nonjudgmental and nondirective, and help people find strategies for looking after themselves and others. Learn and apply practical skills, enhance your self-awareness, give back to your community, and work from your own home.

Need to know

Training will be provided over 2 full days and is held every 3 months.
