Taking Action on Addiction is a national campaign that aims to reframe existing perceptions of addiction and build awareness of it that improves understanding and empathy, reduces prejudice and enables more people to get the help they need. It calls for addiction to be treated as a serious mental health condition and for increased access to treatment, support and care so that recovery can be possible for everyone.
However you’re feeling right now, you are not alone: support is available. Addiction can happen to anyone at any point in life. It is nothing to be ashamed of and getting help - whether it’s for you or a loved one - can save and transform your life.
The Forward Trust's Reach Out online chat team provides free, confidential advice on a range of issues, including drug or alcohol worries and mental health – whether they affect you directly or a friend or relative. And if we don’t have the answers to all of your questions, we will be able to signpost you to somebody who will.
This is aimed at anybody who needs advice or support about addiction.
Our online chat service is currently available between 9am and 3pm, Monday to Friday (excluding Bank Holidays).
Online chat, phone and email.
