💚 Supporting someone with alcohol or drug use can feel overwhelming.

You might be trying to help, keep things together, protect others, or simply work out what to say next.

This Carers Week, we want families, friends and loved ones to know that you deserve support too.

Inspire can offer advice, reassurance, harm reduction information and a safe space to talk things through.

You don’t have to manage everything on your own.

As you head into a new week, remember that small wins matter and they all add up 💜

You've got this.

(And if you're reading this feeling like your family need some extra support, head to our website to find and contact your local Home-Start)

Have you ever agreed to something you didn't really want to do, then spent the rest of the day feeling frustrated with yourself for saying yes?

Sometimes underneath is a fear of disappointing others, creating conflict, or feeling that your own needs matter less.

Over time, this can make it difficult to know where your needs end and someone else's begin.

I've written a new blog exploring healthy boundaries, why they can feel so difficult, and how learning to listen to your own needs can make a difference.
