The August 2023 DARIA was presented by Clare Rushton, Psychologist (Clinical registrar) and PhD Candidate at the University of Wollongong on "Psychosocial interventions for families affected by another’s alcohol or other drug use".
This webinar provides an overview on the experience of families who are affected by another’s alcohol or other drug use, including a brief history of how families have been conceptualised within the addiction field, their involvement in their loved one’s treatment, and the impacts on the family themselves. Also presented were the findings from a recent systematic review and meta-analysis that examined the effectiveness of treatments available to families, and discuss the variation between service approaches based on the different underlying theoretical models.
