Family and Carer’s Program Starting 15th March 2011

Free 8 Week Family & Carer’s Support Program for people affected by the addictive behaviours of someone close to them.  

Being in a close relationship with someone struggling with an addiction can be a frustrating, painful and lonely experience.

The Be SMART programme has been adapted from SMART Recovery for family and carers of individuals struggling with problematic substance use. It uses similar principles to those of SMART Recovery, such giving participants practical coping tools and encouraging self-management. Be SMART has also been designed to encourage families and carers to focus on themselves and  find a greater sense of fulfilment in their own lives.

Over eight weeks the programme explores ways that participants can look after themselves better, even in difficult and stressful circumstances, and establish a healthier relationship with the other person.  It also covers topics such as: making changes in thinking and responses, communication, developing support networks, keeping safe, problem solving and goal-setting.
