Family Support

Merchants Quay Ireland’s family support service provides family members with counselling, advice and guidance to deal with the trauma and issues associated with discovering a loved one is caught in addiction.

We run weekly family support groups where participants share their experiences and offer advice on how best to navigate the challenges presented by addiction.

Our Family Support service offers:

• Individual support
• Group work
• Peer support
• Drug awareness workshops
• Advice and information

Is a member of your family living with addiction?

We know it can be difficult, isolating, and emotional for family and friends when a loved one is experiencing addiction. You are not alone.

We offer a confidential one-to-one service, as well as the option of a family support group, to provide you with support and practical information on how to navigate the challenges you are facing.

We have offices in Wicklow Town and Arklow, or we can offer outreach-based appointments in the community.

Please understand you are not alone.
