About Outreach Dundee:


Aberlour Family Outreach Dundee provides support to families who are struggling to cope as a result of drug and alcohol use within the family.

We give children a trusted person they can talk to, while supporting parents to create a safe environment for their children through addressing their dependency and improving parenting confidence.

- "The Aberlour Family Outreach Dundee worker visited me regularly and she was really friendly. She encouraged me to ask for help when I needed it. She introduced me to other people and got me involved in other services that could help me"
