Who We Are

A safe, confidential environment.

We work with individuals and families who are affected by substance use.

Beacon continues the legacy of Oasis Family Support, a service originally established by two families with lived experience who recognised the absence of existing support for friends and family affected by substance use. 

The service is free and entirely non-judgemental, and you’re in control of the level and type of support that you’d like from us.

How We Support You

Our support

Our aim is to equip you with the knowledge, tools and emotional resilience needed to navigate the impact of substance use and focus on your wellbeing.

We offer advice and guidance around any effects you may be experiencing including stress, anxiety, isolation and the impact to your mental or physical health, relationships and finances.

Throughout all of our support, we aim to help you to create resilience,  gain a wider understanding of substance use and give practical, proven methods to help you to cope. 

One-to-one sessions

Talk through how you’re feeling and put steps in place to manage the impact, both as an individual or as a family

Support groups or activities

Meet with others in person or online who share similar experiences to build a network of peer support

Bespoke support

Referrals to other support organisations and if applicable, arranging meetings with treatment providers, the person in treatment and yourself
