New FASN centre launched in Monaghan Town

The launch of the Monaghan branch of the Family Addiction Support Network took place today.

The organisation supports individual and families affected by a loved one's addiction or substance misuse.

FASN offers information, one-to-one support, respite, education and connection to appropriate services.

The launch in Monaghan today will provide an opportunity for community, organisations, agencies and local services to come together and offer coordinated support locally.

Speaking to Northern Sound at the launch founder and voluntary Family Support Coordinator, Gwen McKenna said she is thrilled to see the service expanding.
