FUSHIA TODAY
How can we help?
Many families have been affected by drug and alcohol misuse in the Sunderland area. When you contact us you will be speaking to a carer who has gone through or is currently going through exactly what you are experiencing, Take the first step and contact us - we are here to support you through this difficult time.
One to One Support - For those carers who want one on one support we can meet up for a coffee and have a chat at a range of places from a coffee shop, our office or even at your home. Our face to face support is conducted with a trained worker.
Telephone Support - For those carers not ready to join our Support Group we can help and support you over the telephone.
Support Group - Our weekly Support Groups are a great place to offload on other like-minded people, to make friends and to realize we are not alone in our problems that there are others out there with similar situations.
Seated Exercise - The class is delivered by a trained member of the Sit ‘n’ ‘b’ Fit team who will tailor the class to suit the needs and abilities of each member of the class, afterwards we have some refreshments and a talk about anything that’s on our minds.
Holistic Treatment - FUSHIA now has a volunteer Therapist qualified in holistic treatments. Alison is to work with FUSHIA clients in order to reduce stress and anxiety levels.
Literature - We have a wide range of literature that we can send to you upon request for example Ways to Help.
