August 2017 Edition

Climbing a mountain is hard work. When the going gets tough, we draw inspiration from the summit ahead. Conquering the peak is a reason for celebration. But some of us face the challenge of climbing out of a deep valley, which is tougher. Especially since the valley below is a constant reminder of our past.

Family & Friends Support Group

WE CARE has started a new support group called “Family and Friends Support Group”. Facilitated by WE CARE counsellors, this group is meant for spouses, partners, family members or friends affected by an addicted loved one.

 

"Family & Friends" teaches effective strategies for self-care and how to cope with the recovering addict. The support group focuses on changing the way you interact with the recovering loved one.  Using the CRAFT Model and SMART Recovery tools, we will touch on important topics that family members and friends experience, including:

  • Self-Care & Self-Rewards
  • Safety plan & Support
  • Coping with Lapses
  • Enabling behaviours
  • Effective supportive behaviour
  • Healthy Boundaries
  • Positive communication

 

The goals for "Family & Friends" are

  • To help you move your loved one towards treatment
  • To help reduce the loved one’s use of alcohol and drugs
  • To improve the lives of concerned family members and friends

 

"Family & Friends" takes place twice a month. For details, check out the schedule here.

If you are an affected family member or friend and you wish to attend "Family & Friends", contact Sida at 3165 8017 or NoorSida@wecare.org.sg to register.
