Family Support Groups
Join a group
Family Support Groups are for relatives, partners and friends who are afected by the drugs misuse of someone they care about.
Joining a group can give you the chance to make new friends who understand what you are going through in a supportive and welcoming environment. Most groups meet once a week for up to two hours.
One member of a Family Support Group says, ‘I love the support group. I look foreard each week to that one time when I’m laughing.’
The groups are friendly and welcoming and always looking for new people to join them.

If there are no groups near you, why not think about starting one? Lisa, our Family Development Officer can give you all the help and information you need to get a new group going.
Help needed with research
Valerie Tallon, Lanarkshire Alcohol & Drug Partnership Co-ordinator, is doing a PHD about recovery. As part of this research, she is interviewing family members about their own recovery.
