Are you close to somebody who is suffering with the illness of addiction? If so, it’s likely that like thousands of others, you find it very challenging and don’t know what to do for the best. Maybe you are full of fear for your loved one, or the situations they put you or themselves in make you feel stressed, frustrated and angry. Perhaps the prolonged strain has taken enjoyment out of your everyday life and you’ve been left feeling anxious and depressed.

We know that addiction has a massive impact on relatives and it’s important that you get help and support for your own wellbeing. The best help you can give to your loved one is to seek help for yourself first and our counsellor-led Family Programme will help you to start implementing positive changes so you can begin to heal.

The Family Programme 26th & 27th May – What To Expect

One of our highly experienced counsellors will be leading this online Family Programme via Zoom over the course of one and a half days. You will join up to 10 other participants who are also wanting support, to learn the tools to be able to move forward and know how to best navigate addiction in the family.

As the Family Programme is split into two sessions on two different days, please ensure that you are available to attend both sessions.

The first is delivered over a full day on Thursday 26th May 2022 (9.30am - 4.30pm) and is designed to be educational. The second session held the following day on Friday 27th May is a half day (9.30am - 12.30pm).

The second session will be interactive whereby the counsellor will lead a group therapy session involving all participants and there will be an hour to reflect and conclude the Family Programme you’ve engaged in at the end.

Important Finer Details & Recommendations:

• In order to ensure that you can make the most out of the Family Programme, it’s recommended that you are seated in a quiet and comfortable room that has good internet/WiFi connection.

• Please use a device that can be plugged into power so that you do not run out of battery (if using a mobile device rather than a desktop computer).

• Headphones without a mic can improve the quality of the audio so are recommended but you will still be able to hear if you don’t have access to headphones.

• You do not have to create a Zoom account to be able to access the sessions and you will be sent joining instructions in advance, but we do recommend logging into the session at least 10 minutes before the start time to allow for any teething problems or delays you may encounter.

• The discussions throughout are of a very personal and sensitive nature so please be reassured that the Zoom sessions will not be recorded.

• We do ask that you connect to video for the sessions.

• There will be chance to ask questions throughout.
