Speak to someone about getting help
Speak to a Family Practitioner who works with parents who want to change their drinking. While, we are not currently offering face-to-face appointments, telephone support is still available. You can contact them to talk about your situation or find out what getting help might be like.
What about my children
It is understandable that many parents worry about social services getting involved. However, asking for help is a positive step and a sign that you are trying to change.
If we have concerns about the wellbeing or safety of your children we will be honest and tell you. We will then work with you to decide what to do next.
