Families Outside is the only national charity in Scotland that works solely to support the families of people involved in the criminal justice system.

We speak to thousands of families each year providing information and support on issues such as housing, finance, anxiety and depression.

Our Helpline, 0800 254 0088, provides impartial advice and  support and is often the first port of call for families looking for help.

If family members require more in-depth support our Regional Family Support Team are on hand throughout Scotland and can offer direct, face to face support until a positive outcome is reached.

We also provide tools, resources and training to those individuals and groups who come into contact with families affected by imprisonment. From prison staff and social workers to health care professionals and teachers our bespoke training sessions increase the awareness of the issues and challenges faced by families and ensure that they continue receive the support they need.

For more information, or to speak to someone who can help please call our helpline on 0800 254 0088 or visit www.familiesoutside.org.uk
