The group meets fortnightly on Wednesday evenings 7.30pm – 9.30pm The support workers are available from 7pm if you would like to speak to them on a one-to-one basis and then decide whether you will stay for the group.

The family support group provides confidential support for parents/family members who are concerned about a relative’s drug or alcohol use. It provides opportunities for families to gain information and share experiences in an informal and safe setting. The group is open to anyone living in Aberdeenshire and is facilitated by two workers who are help people look at different ways of coping. Discussions tend to focus on issues raised that evening by group members and speakers are invited in once a term.

The group is small and friendly and we hope that, by coming along, you will feel better able to cope with this difficult situation. For more information on the group, including the venue and dates please contact the community office.  This group is open to anyone living in Aberdeenshire.
