Recovery from Alcohol and Drug Use for Families

How our team can help

Family Recovery runs individual counselling, group therapy, education and support programs which:

• Provide information on the effects of dependency on the individual and the family and related mental health issues
• Help develop skills and strategies to reduce dependency
• Offer information and coping skills to improve emotional wellbeing and quality of life.

PAUSE – Starting 3 June 2025

Our PAUSE program is an online 12-week group, supporting parents and carers of adolescents with problem alcohol, drug or gambling behaviour. Our experienced group facilitators invite participants to ‘pause’, take a break and reflect, giving them a chance to:

• Become better informed about drugs, gambling and mental health
• Share experiences with other parents and carers in a safe and confidential setting
• Discuss your issues and feelings to gain clarity about the best ways to move forward
• Develop strategies to enhance communication and maintain positive boundaries.

Could our PAUSE group benefit you or someone you know? Enquire now!

You can also call 13 18 19 to make an enquiry. Please note that an assessment is made to see if the group is suitable for the individual.

Family Recovery consists of programs supporting the different needs of family members and individuals impacted by substance use or gambling behaviours. These include:

Relationships in FOCUS

• For partners and other adult family members of people with a dependency problem, past or present.

Pathways to Change

Kaleidoscope

• Age-specific groups designed for children 5-18 years who have been affected by someone else’s alcohol, drug or gambling behaviour.
