OUR VISION
Westman Families of Addicts Incorporated is dedicated to supporting families and friends dealing with a loved one’s drug addiction for a healthier future and community.
OUR GOALS
We strive to provide supports such as, but not limited to education, harm reduction, advocacy, detox, services and coordination of existing services. We also support families by connecting them with a variety of wellness and therapy services
Our Aim
Our group aims to help families in the Brandon area navigate the resources and mental health services available and with the ultimate goal of bringing a detox and recovery center to Brandon.
Drug Abuse affects us all
Drug abuse is a crisis affecting the entire province, even if there are people who say it doesn’t affect them or their families. As a community we need to put egos aside and all get together for the greater good of our society. Get in touch with us to see how you can help.
Our story
A Community Come Together
Westman Families of Addicts was born out of one Mother’s recognized need for support dealing with the trauma of the addiction crisis within families. What she thought would begin as a small coffee group soon turned into a support group with over 200 families!
Support Us
As a not-for-profit organization we look to our community to help us in raising funds to offer more training and education to our members and the public.
