Family Support Link

Family Support Link aims to reduce the physical, psychological and emotional harm caused to families who are living with or caring for someone who is addicted to drugs or alcohol, empowering them to improve their lives, by offering:

• a confidential telephone help line
• support group
• one-to-one meetings for the family (completely separate from that offered to the substance user)

The services also provides effective support, counselling, education and early intervention for those families, including and often forgotten, grandparents particularly those who may be left looking after children and young people. Families that we support come from a wide range of social, economic and ethnic backgrounds across a variety of ages.

In addition, community awareness sessions and training sessions for companies, professionals, and voluntary organisations can be offered.
