Chat with other affected families on our forum

Families sometimes feel lost or struggle to express themselves regarding a loved one’s drug or alcohol use. This can be down to fear of stigma, a concern that they won’t be properly understood or simply not knowing what to do.

This forum below gives you the opportunity to share and discuss your feelings in a safe environment. Feel free to share what you wish about your own experiences but please note that anything that raises a safe-guarding or confidentiality concern may be removed, and we cannot guarantee the quality or appropriateness of responses.

If you are seeking support, you may want to call a helpline or find a local family support group.
