Addiction and the Family International Network (AFINet) is pleased to announce a bilingual call for abstracts for the 6th Annual Conference: AFINet 2025: Addiction, Family Members, and Affected Others.

The event will be held May 21-23, 2025 at Université Laval in Quebec City, Canada.

This event is an opportunity to share your research, clinical, and lived experiences in the field of addiction with national and international experts from a wide range of disciplines.

Abstracts from all disciplines and interests in the field of addiction, including research, practice, policy and related areas, are welcome. International submissions are also strongly encouraged.

The call for abstracts is for May 22 and 23 only, as May 21 is a pre-conference day, with various workshops on the program.

We invite speakers to submit proposals aligned with AFINET's mission to promote the well-being of family members, friends, and colleagues affected by a loved one's use of alcohol, substances or gambling.

Presentations should address the impact of these addictions on those around the affected individuals, as well as support and intervention strategies to improve the quality of life for those affected. Themes may also include the exploring of public policies designed to support these family members and meet their specific needs.

Please note that a projector, and screens will be available during each session. Presenters must bring their presentations, in PPT or PDF format, on a USB key to be loaded on the local computer before the presentation.

Please note that the Conference will be held in both official languages (French and English). The main presentations will benefit from simultaneous translation, while several other presentations will have their slides available in French and English.

All conference presenters must register for the event and pay the applicable registration fees, just like all other conference attendees.

Deadlines for presenter registration will be provided in the acceptance letter, which will be submitted by January 31, 2025.

Failure to register by these deadlines will result in the presenter being removed from the program and replaced with another presenter.
