The Network was formed in 2000 and consists of representatives of family support groups, individual family members and those working directly with families of drug users from right across the island of Ireland.

The Network aims to:

• Raise awareness of family support work and its role in the community
• Highlight the importance and value of work done by family support groups
• Provide information to families and communities on existing services and supports
• Highlight the extent of the drugs problem and its effects on families
• Campaign for better services for drug users and their families
• Support the involvement of the people most affected by the problem - drug users and their families - in dealing with the problem
• Remember and commemorate those who have died as a result of drugs
