Adfam is setting up a National Lived Experience Campaign Network, to remotely bring people together with lived experience of a family member’s substance use, to campaign, raise awareness and influence change.
Free online training opportunities will be available to members of the network, to help develop new skills around storytelling and campaigning. Specific topics may include areas such as how to engage with local services, politicians, print media and social media.
We would like to hear from family members with lived experience about whether you would be interested in being involved in the network, what you think the network should look like in practice, and which kind of opportunities you would find most valuable.
If you would like to express an interest in the campaign network, or would like to share your views, please take part in our five minute survey.
This survey will be open until Monday 2nd September 2024.
Please note this survey is specifically for the family members and loved ones of people affected by substance use (this can be both current or previously).
