Supporting Families Affected by drug/alcohol use in Hampshire
When a loved one is struggling with drug or alcohol use, it doesn’t just affect them—it affects their entire support network. PSL exists to help families and friends of people who use substances across Hampshire, offering a safe, confidential space to talk, learn, and find hope.

Why Family Support is Crucial
drug/alcohol use doesn’t happen in isolation. Often, families feel helpless, ashamed, or even blamed. Without the right support, this can lead to burnout, relationship breakdowns, or mental health issues.
That’s why PSL’s work matters. It’s not just about the person using substances—it’s about healing the wider family system.

Partners and spouses
