Support and Self-help Groups

Aflið is a social organization for people who have suffered abuse in a close relationship, sexual abuse or any other form of abuse. You can receive individual counseling or participate in support groups. Relatives are welcome. There is no cost for speaking to counselors.

There is no elevator in the building so if you use a wheelchair unfortunately you will not have access. You can instead arrange to meet a counselor at a place of your own choosing. You can speak Icelandic or English with counselors. Aflið provides both language translators and sign language translators for the hearing impaired, if you can let Aflið know in advance.

Aflið is located at Aðalstræti 14 in Akureyri. You can also get assistance in Blönduós, Egilsstaðir, Húsavík, Reyðarfjörður and Siglufjörður. You can book an appointment by calling their phone number 4615959 on Tuesdays and Wednesdays between 9-12am or send an email to aflidak@aflidak.is
