Family counselling involves friends and family members meeting together with a counsellor to discuss the difficulties faced by the family in relation to alcohol and other drug use and how to support their loved one’s recovery. All friends and family members are encouraged and welcome to attend family counselling.
Support for Family & Friends

We understand how hard the impact of someone else’s alcohol and drug use can be for family and friends. It’s important that you consider your own wellbeing and support, particularly when someone you care about is not yet ready to seek support.
”I loved the courage of the people sharing their personal stories, I loved the honesty. I felt that it was great to be amongst other families who are feeling the same and we don’t need to be alone, best to share with others.

How do I get started?
To make an appointment you can call any of our branches. You don’t need a referral and it’s free. Appointments are usually about an hour long. Evening or Saturday morning appointments are available at most branches.
If you need urgent help
We are not an emergency service. If you are hurt, or worried about someone’s safety, or you need immediate support please call 000 (Ambulance, Police, Fire Brigade) or present to your closest emergency department.
