WithYou is a UK-based charity providing free, confidential support to people experiencing challenges with drugs, alcohol, or mental health, as well as their families and friends. For families of alcoholics in Scotland and England.
WithYou provides a free, confidential helpline (0808 801 0750, Monday–Friday 10am–6pm) and an online chat service (available seven days a week) for family members concerned about a loved one’s alcohol use. Trained Recovery Workers offer advice, emotional support, and guidance on how to cope with the impact of alcoholism, whether the individual is still drinking or in recovery.
WithYou’s website (www.wearewithyou.org.uk) allows families to search for local services by postcode. These services may include family-focused support groups, counseling, or workshops in areas like Glasgow, Edinburgh, or other parts of Scotland, as well as England. Local services provide practical advice and connect families to community resources.
WithYou facilitates family support groups where members can share experiences and learn from others facing similar challenges. These groups help reduce isolation and provide coping strategies, often available in local hubs or online.
WithYou’s services are designed to be welcoming and non-judgmental, ensuring families feel safe discussing their concerns. They focus on empowering families to make informed decisions and support their loved one’s journey, whether toward recovery or harm reduction.
