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 well-being. 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. It is designed to support, educate and help improve the well-being of anyone who is affected by a loved ones addiction.
Online Family Programme – What To Expect
One of our highly experienced counsellors will be leading this one-day online Family Programme via Zoom. It will start at 10am and finish at 4.30pm. 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.
With a mixture of listening and interaction, you will learn about the nature of addiction, the roles that relatives can often adopt (and why this can cause problems for you), and how to look after your own well-being. It also provides a non-judgmental space to talk about your feelings with others who will understand.
The day is designed to be educational but also supportive, and the counsellor is happy to answer any questions or comments throughout. Closer to the end of the day 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.
The day will include:
- Introductions
- Step 1 & The Family Illness
- Drama Triangle
- Enabling
- Co-dependency
- Feelings Check
- Self-care
- Group Therapy
- Reflective Practice
Price
