Family Education Day
The Family Education Day is an introductory one-day online program for family members, partners, friends, and carers supporting someone with a mental health condition or substance use concern. No prior knowledge is required – the program is open to anyone navigating this with someone they care about.
About The Program
At South Pacific Private, we understand that watching a person you love struggle with addiction or mental health issues can be both painful and confusing.
Our Family Education Day is designed to start to equip you with the tools and strategies you need to recognise addiction and mental health issues, set clear and effective boundaries and communicate effectively with your loved one.
South Pacific Private is Australia’s only treatment center to integrate a dedicated family program within our treatment plans. We recognise that repairing, restoring and healing our most intimate and important relationships is critical for lasting success.
