FDS Online Program Evaluation

ALCOHOL AND DRUG FOUNDATION — 19/06/2023 Implications of findings • FDS Online is achieving its stated aims and is providing significant support to family and friends of people using AOD. • Some suggestions for ways to optimise outcomes include: 1. Rename the resource to avoid confusion about what it is, and make it more accessible for those looking for this kind of support 2. First contact services such as the FDS support line should continue to actively encourage callers to access the videos as an early step in their journey 3. At the end of the video, provide FDS support line phone number, and details of other FDS programs and supports, including where to access information about in-person support groups
