About the Alcohol and Families Alliance

Run by Adfam, the Institute of Alcohol Studies and Alcohol Change UK, the AFA is a forum and resource for developing and influencing policy on alcohol and families, forging a consensus across the substance misuse and children and families sectors. We believe that:
  • Current policy does not sufficiently protect children and families from alcohol related harms
  • The misuse of alcohol can have serious and detrimental effects on the health and wellbeing of children and families
  • The negative effects of alcohol on children and families are not necessarily confined to those incurred by drinkers diagnosed as hazardous, harmful or dependent
  • We should encourage an open conversation about alcohol and its effects on families, that challenges stigma and stereotypes
  • Families deserve help and support to understand the potential impact of alcohol on their family and relationships
The AFA meets twice a year.

The secretariat of the AFA is funded by the Institute of Alcohol Studies and Alcohol Change UK.
