About The Author

Tony Trimingham

Tony Trimingham is the CEO of Family Drug Support, an organisation he founded to assist families of addicts after his son Damien died of a heroin overdose in the late 1990s. More than anyone, he knows what Australian families want and need to know in order to cope with the inevitable fallout once a family member or friend goes on drugs. FDS now receives over 25,000 calls for assistance each year and Tony is in demand both internationally and within Australia as a keynote speaker and media talking head on drug reform policy.
