Overview
At ESCAPE Family Support we recognise that substance misuse affects more than just the substance user and is why ‘family’ is in our name. We have a great deal of experience in dealing with the wide range of negative impacts that substance abuse has upon carers and family members and the social isolation this can cause. Our services are designed to provide you with access to personal support and a range of group activities as appropriate to your needs.
You can make a self referral directly by contacting our helpline on 07702 833944. Agencies including Social Services, GP’s plus ? can also make a referral for you. Following contact, our Service Manager will assess with you how best we might help you support yourself and your family. You will then be allocated a named Family Support Worker to work directly with you. In addition we have a team of befrienders, peer mentors and volunteers who can also provide support as needed. If you would like further information about the support available head to our contact page or get in touch directly. You will be allocated a key worker who will undertake a detailed assessment of your needs and a care plan will be drawn up. Your key worker will co-ordinate the support that you receive from ESCAPE.
