The Rise Foundation, for which I do work, is an organisation that supports family members who have somebody they love with an alcohol, drug or gambling problem. It does not get any Government support whatsoever. It has six to eight therapists but it also has a waiting list. There is something not right about that picture at this time. This needs to be addressed. The organisation does phenomenal work. It is more of an intervention organisation. It stops the intergenerational trauma caused by addiction. I will leave it at that.
