Cheerful SunWelcome to TUMS

The website for families in need of support, training and information about drugs and alcohol.

Perhaps because you are affected by someone else's drug and / or alcohol misuse. Or maybe just to be better prepared for questions your children are likely to ask you soon. Whatever the reason. TUMS is here for you.

TUMS is primarily for Mums but Dads are never turned away. Indeed we are currently developing an approach to best support dads that come to TUMS for the same support as mums do.

On this website you will find information on alcohol and drugs, their effects and advice on where people can seek help. You will also find information on when TUMS family Support Groups are and how to access training. Training is TUMS main goal, providing people with the information and skills to improve their knowledge, hopefully that will impact on how they cope with difficult drug and alcohol related issues. TUMS believes in empowering people to make more informed choices and take appropriate action towards helping themselves and others they care about.

You will find lots of information about the people who fund and take part in running TUMS, how those people can help you and when it is best to contact them.

Finally, this website is part of a wider strategy through profession links with regional partners to support families and prove that their experiences are a valuable part of the recovery pathway. Treatment and rehabilitation cannot happen in isolation. Nor without support.

With Family Support and Training up Mums you discover you do have people who care about you, people who offer friendship and support.

And that life will get better even though your current situation may feel awful. Use the help page to quick jump to support access or just browse for more info.

We hope you find the website helpful and look forward to hearing from you.
