Find your anchor, together

At Anchored Together Aberdeenshire Family Support, we understand the journey you're on. This is a safe space where families and friends affected by addiction and compulsive behaviours can find understanding, share stories, and build strength. You are not alone; we're here to navigate this together, challenging stigma and building vital connections.

Our support for you

We offer a range of dedicated support services designed to meet the unique needs of families and friends affected by addiction. Our approach focuses on creating a compassionate environment where you can find practical help, emotional solace, and a strong sense of community.

Weekly peer support

We meet every week in person to share our stories, gain strength from each other, and lighten our load. This helps you feel less alone in your journey.

Building connections

Through our connections with other services and lived experience, we offer help and resources that were previously unavailable. Find much-needed support and friendships.

Challenging stigma

Navigate the blame culture and tough love often associated with addiction. We help you find understanding and a path forward, knowing you are not alone.

You are not alone

The stigma around addictions and compulsive behaviours can make this a very isolating experience for family and friends. There is a big blame and tough love culture which we are all experiencing and navigating, often alone. At Anchored Together, you are not alone, and we are all in this together.

How our support helps

For someone feeling lost or alone because of addiction or compulsive behaviours in others, the support we offer truly makes a difference. You can expect to reduce feelings of isolation, gain practical coping strategies, and build a strong network of support. We have already formed friendships and connections, providing much-needed comfort and understanding for our group members. Find strength in unity and hope for a better tomorrow.
