Parents and Carers

Drugs don’t just affect the person using them; they can also have a harmful effect on the lives of those close to the drug user too. The LCPT provides information, advice referral and support services to drug users and their families through the Parents and Carers Support Worker.

The service works across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland to establish and maintain links with parents & carers groups, assist individuals and groups of parents to set up support groups in their communities, provide advice and support to individual groups and organisations working with parents and carers and to provide the Drug and Alcohol Action Team information on the needs of parents and carers.

Additionally, the support worker facilitates Snowdrops, a support group for parents or carers affected by someone else’s drug use. The support group runs throughout the area. For details of your nearest support group, please telephone the support worker who will be able to give you details.
