The Family Afterwards
The Family Afterwards
We recognise that all too often, the families are both the innocent and suffering victims left helpless by the actions caused by others.
We are a registered C.I.C who concern ourselves with the families and communities of those suffering the multitude of problems caused by addiction.

Our Aim
The Family Afterwards C.I.C. exists to support the families and loved ones affected by addiction, recovery, and the lasting emotional impact that substance misuse can leave behind. We provide a safe, compassionate, and understanding space where healing, education, connection, and personal growth can take place.
Founded from lived experience, compassion, and a desire to create meaningful change, our aim is to provide a safe and supportive environment where people feel heard, understood, and empowered. We are committed to helping families rebuild trust, find stability, strengthen emotional wellbeing, and rediscover hope through connection, education, and recovery support.
Having strategically pooled together a team of individuals and professional services, we at The Family Afterwards aim to deliver a bespoke service to the silent victims of those suffering with the complexities of addiction.
Who We Are
The Family Afterwards C.I.C. is a community-focused organisation created to support the families, partners, and loved ones affected by addiction and recovery.
