WESTMAN FAMILIES OF ADDICTS is a not for profit support group based in Brandon, MB where our community is currently battling a methamphetamine (crystal meth) crisis of epic proportions. We began in June 2017 as a group of Warrior Moms sharing resources, education & advocacy to support ourselves and loved ones battling substance abuse, and struggling to find effective resources. 7 months later, and we became non profit, and now support 300 families, by educating, reducing stigma, advocating and just “being there” with understanding and compassion.  The goal is to foster wellness, not only among our families battling the drug crisis, and losing loved ones, but also the community at large. Our first public forum in January 2018 was attended by 160 community members! We are raising money to increase awareness, hold monthly meetings, share education, provide resources, advocate for an immediate medical detox, and bring the ReAct program to support individuals & families in crisis. Recently our Vice-President had the opportunity to present a report; a roadmap to solutions that can be found on our web page.
