"ELTEREKREES" LUXEMBOURG
PARENTS' CERCLE - FOR PARENTS OF YOUNG ADULTS AND TEENAGERS SUFFERING FROM
DRUG ADDICTION
Parents love their children unconditionally;
parents of addicts are no exception.
Not only do they deal with the day-to-day issues of their child’s illness, but they also have to deal with the stigma, the stares, the judgmental comments, the isolation, and the rejection.
They have to face this daily.
Often they face it alone.
We are facing the same challenges, we understand, we come together to help each other, to help our children.
ABOUT
ORGANISED BY PARENTS FOR PARENTS OF ADDICTS
What is it?
-
It is a time to share our experiences, to learn, to overcome isolation and guilt.
-
It is a place, where you can express your anxieties and emotions and share your questions.
-
It is a confidential, active listening space without any judgment or prejudice
You can come and talk about your experience and/or emotions. You can also come listen because sometimes we are too overwhelmed to talk.
Who can/should participate?
Parents of children who are removed from society either physically (living in the street), psychologically (addictive substance abuse), through crime or a combination, who, as a result, face feelings of helplessness, confusion, and guilt and wish to share their questions and find support.
When, how, what language?
We meet every 3 weeks at 18:30 in Luxembourg city area.
You will first need to contact us, see below, we will have a first exchange which will allow us to get to know each other a little.
For the moment exchanges are mainly in Luxembourg and or French languages, many of us also speak English and German.
