When a loved one enters treatment or recovery, families often find themselves in a new stage. Life can look and feel different, and many family members begin to reflect on their own wellbeing for the first time.

This new group offers a space to explore exactly that. It’s a chance to connect with others who understand, share experiences, and find support.

This is a trial session to understand if there is a need for an ongoing group - everyone is welcome, and you do not need to have attended before. Available to families who have previously received support from Scottish Families.

👉 To express interest, email carly@sfad.org.uk
