While affected family members adopt a range of coping strategies to help support their relative and manage their own health and wellbeing (McCann & Lubman, Citation2018 Wilson et al., Citation2019), many report experiencing multiple challenges in accessing evidence-based information (McCann et al., Citation2019). As a result, affected family members often experience increased levels of stress and difficulty coping, negatively impacting their health and wellbeing (Copello et al., Citation2005 McCann et al., Citation2017 Citation2021 McCann & Lubman, Citation2018a Citation2018b). Education programs for affected family members, facilitated by peers, provide an opportunity for validation and ultimately serve to de-stigmatize addiction.įamily members who support a loved one experiencing addiction face many challenges, including disrupted family relationships, stigma from within the family and the community, and social isolation (Copello et al., Citation2005 Corrigan et al., Citation2006 McCann et al., Citation2017 McCann & Lubman, Citation2018a Citation2018b). Participants reported being able to harness the collective insights of peers and make sense of their experiences through education and support. Participants experienced the group as validating and de-stigmatizing, thereby helping shift their approach to coping and consolidating their understanding of addiction. A topic summary was used to present data relating to the experiences of attending online. Twenty-one affected family members were interviewed and reflexive thematic analysis was used to develop three themes: experience of validation not fixing, stepping back and, education to help make sense of experiences. This study explored the experiences of participants attending a BreakThrough online group education and support program for family members of people experiencing addiction. Education programs for affected family members aim to assist in improving coping skills, understanding of addiction, and provide support, yet these have not been subjected to in-depth research, especially programs delivered by peers, or people with lived experience. This resource is designed for researchers at the University of Melbourne.Family members of people experiencing addiction may experience increased stress and have difficulty coping with disrupted relationships, stigma, and isolation. It is primarily designed to be used with Module 1: What is NVivo?
