BCARES Family Connect

BCARES Family Connect is made up of a group of family members who all have a loved one with a substance use disorder. The goal of Family Connect is to support families who are having difficulty coping with their loved ones' substance use disorder by listening, sharing their lived experiences and connecting them to resources to help in their journey. Family Connect volunteers are available 24/7 by telephone, text, email or in-person in the community.

ContactFamily Connect volunteers can be reached via email at BCARESFamilyConnect@gmail.com.
