Welcome to
Family Support Link
Family Support Link’s mission is to provide accessible and non judgemental support across Northamptonshire. We aim to reduce the physical, psychological and emotional harm caused to families and individuals living with or caring for someone who is addicted to drugs and/or alcohol.
We do this by offering 1-1 support for those from the age of 5 years upwards.
We run a confidential telephone support helpline Monday to Friday between 10:00am-2:00pm, outside of these hours please leave a message with your telephone number and a member of the team will contact you.
We believe in the power of education and community engagement. In addition to our direct support services, we actively strive to educate various agencies and communities about our work. We offer informative awareness sessions to schools, professional and community groups, as well as agencies. These sessions provide a valuable opportunity to learn about our services, as well as gain insights into the referral process.
We are dedicated to spreading awareness and knowledge, and we welcome anyone interested in scheduling an awareness session or obtaining further information to get in touch!
Thank you Family Support Link
I started getting support around 6 years ago. When I had the horrific experience of 2 family members with alcohol addiction. I got and I am still getting support from this lovely organisation. They are a great team helping me feel my self-worth and a very stronger person that I am now.
I was not alone
The 1:1 support enabled me to vent my feelings and helped me see the importance of looking after myself at the time of crisis. I think it prevented me from having a breakdown. The weekly group meetings let me know I was not alone in what I was going through.
Gain strength from my meetings
My support worker has been a rock, pointing out situations to me and showing me a clear vision of the directions which I may/may not take. The name Family Support couldn't be more precise, and I am grateful for each time I see her, knowing I must be strong with myself.
Grateful to have been referred to FSL
Just having someone to talk to who would listen and offer understanding and provide professional advice which was non-judgemental was a massive help as it helped me to see things a lot clearer. I am definitely in a much better place now than I was, to handle any difficulties that could arise in the future.
