Survey
Adfam is running a new online survey looking at the impact of the cost of living crisis on families affected by substance use in the UK.
The cost of living crisis is having a devastating impact on families across the UK who are struggling to make ends-meet.
We know that many families affected by substance use already suffer financial hardship as a result of their situation and we are looking to find out how the cost of living crisis is adding further challenge and complexity.
This will provide Adfam with vital evidence on what families are currently going through, which we’ll use to inform our work and to try and achieve change through service provision, policy and greater awareness and understanding.
The survey is open to anyone impacted by the substance use of a family member or friend, should take no longer than 10 minutes to complete, and is open until Monday 6 February 2023.
You can find out more about the survey and take part here: adfam.org.uk/survey-cost-of-living-and-substance-use.
