Family Support Groups and Telehealth
Family support is a service that is available across Scotland to families and friends who are worried about someone else’s alcohol or drugs use. Support can be in the form of groups but there is also one-to-one support with a peer worker or counsellor, and there is support over the phone or online. At Scottish Families, we can help to find you a form of family support that you are comfortable with.
It can feel daunting to ask for support, you may not really know how to ask or you may feel you’re fine and just want support for your parent/partner/child or person you care about. Whichever it is we can help.
