Support

We’ve used our extensive experience and skills to create our own Adfam support services which you can access directly:

Adfam East Sussex

Unfortunately we are no longer able to accept new referrals for our East Sussex service.

If you have any questions please get in touch with the East Sussex team (please note that this is for operational enquiries and not an advice line).

Coventry

We offer a series of sessions of one-one support to adults living in Coventry affected by a loved one’s drug or alcohol use.
These sessions allow you to explore how your loved one’s drug or alcohol use is affecting you and to get support in making changes, if you wish. Our experienced worker listens to you and can work through a range of topics which others affected by someone’s substance use have found helpful. Our worker will (metaphorically!) walk alongside you as you plan a way forward and may suggest further support or advice if appropriate.
These sessions are offered via Zoom or by phone.

Following support sessions, if appropriate there may also be the option to:
• Join our online Peer Support Group
• Access 12 counselling sessions with a counsellor/psychotherapist
Apply below and we will be in touch to ensure that what we are offering is appropriate for you. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee sessions for everyone.

Gambling

Being close to someone who has a gambling problem can be distressing and overwhelming. You may experience lots of different feelings including hurt, anger, mistrust, sadness and fear for the future. You may also be affected financially. Through Adfam@Home we provide free and confidential support and advice to the family members, loved ones and friends of someone who is gambling.
We offer 6 sessions of one-to-one support
These sessions allow you to explore how your loved one’s gambling is affecting you and to get support in making changes, if you wish. Our experienced worker listens to you. They may also introduce a range of topics which people affected by a loved one’s gambling have previously found helpful. Our worker will (metaphorically!) walk alongside you as you plan a way forward and may suggest further support or advice if appropriate. These sessions are offered via Zoom or by phone.

How it works:

To get the most benefit, we strongly recommend the full six-session package.
