HIVE Directory: Support Groups & Activities

Al Anon

Al-Anon Family Groups provide support to anyone whose life is, or has been, affected by someone else’s drinking, regardless of whether that person is still drinking or not. For some of our members, the wounds still run deep, even if their loved one may no longer be a part of their lives or has died.

Portsmouth Carers Service

The team is based at the Carers Centre. We start with a conversation to understand your situation and help you to work out what type of support might help. Carers often find it useful to get information and advice, support to have a break or just to have a listening ear.

Rebound

Rebound Group is a confidential, empathetic support group, caring about carers.

We offer support and assistance in both group and one-to-one counselling settings, as needed.

The service is provided free of charge to carers and family members affected by a loved ones' drugs, alcohol and substance misuse and their associated mental health problems.

The group is run by members who have attended the group for many years. They are all suitably qualified, having accredited Working Therapeutically with Addiction certificates. They are also able to help because of their first hand experience - they have a family member in addiction themselves.
