Family Recovery Supports Families Affected by Alcohol, Drug or Gambling Concerns

Providing a range of support for children, adults and families impacted by a loved one’s alcohol or drug use, problem gambling, and associated mental health challenges.

Family Recovery provides support to individuals impacted by a loved one's dependency concerns, regardless of whether or not the person using alcohol, drugs or problem gambling seeks help.

We recognise the significant impact alcohol, drugs and gambling can have on individual family members and the family as a system. Therefore, our range of group programs, education, and individual counselling can provide you with the support you need.
