Alliance Family Counselling
Connections Alliance Family Counselling is a free service that aims to support families who are struggling to cope due to the use of alcohol or drugs by a family member.
Drug or alcohol abuse does not just affect the individual
Maintaining relationships and supporting the family unit, is challenging when a family member is using alcohol or drugs and is perhaps challenged by mental health issues.
Connections Alliance Family Counselling is a free service providing support to families impacted by another family member’s alcohol or drug use in the Southern Metropolitan Region.
Alliance Family Counselling aims to support families to develop or enhance their coping skills and ability to support each.
How Alliance Family Counselling Works:
Alliance Family Counselling assists family members to better cope with their loved one’s alcohol or drug use and increase the opportunity for both the individual and the family to overcome the impact of drug and alcohol addiction.
Support is provided to family members to develop and enhance their coping skills to manage the challenges they face on a daily basis.
Alliance Family Counselling does this through the provision of counselling and/or participation in structured therapeutic groups. We can also help clients to identify other appropriate programs and or services that assist the family, as well as the individual to function more cohesively.
How this service benefits the community
Drug and alcohol use impacts on an individual's and family's wellbeing. Supporting and maintaining family relationships and the family unit can be overwhelmingly challenging.
Alliance Family Counselling assists family members to cope better and support each other in this difficult situation thereby increasing the opportunity for individuals and families to overcome the negative impact of drug and alcohol addiction.
Health, welfare & community organisations:
Connections Alliance Family Counselling can also collaborate with other health, welfare and community organisations to deliver education and training for their staff on supporting families affected by drug and alcohol abuse.
Alliance Family Counselling is available for secondary consultations to assist professionals to provide effective family focussed support.
Alliance Family Counselling will work in partnership with other agencies supporting other members of the family.
