One-to-One Support

We can offer you one-to-one support if you would like to speak to someone, confidentially, about a loved one you are concerned about.

Daryl will offer you time and space to explore the issues affecting you, let you express your thoughts and feelings, and help you to come up with ideas and solutions to move forward. Common topics include improving communication, setting boundaries with your loved one, and looking after yourself.

Each support session lasts around one hour and the frequency can be arranged to suit your needs.

Group Support

In Inverclyde, we currently offer one weekly Family Support Meeting (each Friday 10am-11.30 in Greenock).  We are able to meet face to face however booking is required to maintain social distancing.

This is a facilitated mutual-aid support group, where family members are invited to share with each other any difficulties they’re currently experiencing, and focus on ideas and solutions to find a way forward.

Contact our helpline who will arrange a referral to our services and Daryl will call you back to discuss your options

CRAFT

(Community Reinforcement Approach & Family Training)

At Scottish Families, we love using a programme called CRAFT.

CRAFT is a set of 7 structured sessions and is a solution-focused, skills-based programme with a strong evidence base. It involves role-plays to help you practice new skills and has small assignments and tasks which you will be asked to do away from the sessions.

If you would like to learn more about the CRAFT principles, this is something Daryl can deliver either 1:1 or in group settings.
