  • Group meetings that help you cope better and where you can get support from other people in similar positions.
  • Social activity groups, befriending and volunteering opportunities.
  • Helpful advice on what you can do to help if you’re worried about a loved one’s drinking.
  • A six session Live Wise, Age Well programme providing you with the tools to manage life’s transitions such as retirement, bereavement or change of routine.
  • Training to support health and social care providers and community organisations to recognise and respond to individuals who may need help because of their drinking.
