About DAFS

Passionate About Helping Others
DAFS was founded by Val & Lynn, after experiencing frustration with the lack of support for families during a time when they needed it. They realised that they could not be the only individuals out there not knowing where to go or who to turn to during the turbulent times of dealing with a loved one in addiction.
Feeling like they owed it to other struggling families experiencing similar struggles, they took on the task of creating & forming their own small support group in 2018, which over the years has gradually grown to be a well established & well known not-for-profit organisation dedicated to helping others in the same situations.
