THE FAMILY AND FRIENDS SUPPORT PROGRAM (FFSP) ONLINE COMMUNITY
For people supporting someone using alcohol or other drugs
The Family and Friend Support Program (FFSP) is a freely available, online therapeutic program that supports people who have a loved one using alcohol or other drugs. The FFSP program recognises that supporting someone who is using alcohol or other drugs can be extremely stressful and aims to assist families and friends to best manage the demands of this role whilst maintaining their own health and wellbeing.
The FFSP Breathing Space Community provides a safe and supportive place for you to connect with others in a similar situation to you. The FFSP Breathing Space community is an extension of the FFSP online program and is offered via the University of Newcastle’s Breathing Space app, available on both android and iOS devices.
Breathing Space is a purpose built, moderated, and secure app for private peer-to-peer communities. It offers a confidential space where you can connect with others to share your concerns, discuss your experiences and exchange useful information in a safe and supportive environment. In doing so, Breathing Space provides an opportunity to improve your levels of wellbeing and resilience. This community is also moderated by the research team, including Psychologists and Social Workers, who will be online regularly to provide therapeutic engagement, content, and discussion topics.
