Providing Personalized Support
The Together service offers free support for people whose loved ones are struggling with substance use, gambling, or video game overuse.
Whether it’s about psychoactive substances or problem gambling, it’s often difficult for loved ones to know how to help someone they care about. That’s why the Together service was created — a dedicated support service for the loved ones of people living with a dependence.
The Together service offers free support for people whose loved ones are struggling with substance use, gambling, or video game overuse.
The service allows family members and close friends (parents, children, friends, partners…) aged 18 and over to receive personalized support by phone or videoconference with a counsellor. These sessions provide support, guidance, information, awareness, and referrals when needed.

“I want to thank the whole team — especially Bianka for her support and guidance. I’ve put her advice into practice, and it’s working. My quality of life has improved. I’ve never regretted reaching out for the help I needed. Give yourself a chance — it’s worth it. Do like I did: make the call.”
