Are you caring for someone affected by alcohol and/or drugs?

Scottish Families is partnering with Carers Trust and the University of the West of Scotland on some research around the experiences of unpaid carers caring for someone using substances.

We’re looking to speak with unpaid carers in Scotland, to learn more about things like: what caring looks like for them, how caring roles and routines have changed over time, when/how they found out they are an unpaid carer, and more.

Interviews will be done online (via Microsoft Teams), and unpaid carers who take part in an interview will be remunerated with £25. People who would like to take part can register their interest by sending a quick email to Marianna@sfad.org.uk saying they’d like to take part in an interview. Marianna will then provide some more information around next steps for taking part in an interview.

The following link contains a video with more information on the research and the interviews: https://vimeo.com/1125546023?share=copy

I heal the wounds that once pulled me into darkness, and as I heal, my addiction loosens its grip. ✨️

Parents, carers, family members and friends often don’t know what to look out for when they are worried about a loved one who might be self-harming.

We have a Signs of Self-Harm resource on our website which shows some signs which can indicate that someone might be harming themselves.

Please note: It's important to remember that there may be a number of reasons that your loved one might be showing any of these signs, and it might not necessarily mean they are self-harming.
