Family Education Day
The Family Education Day is an introductory one-day, six-hour course designed specifically for the family, partners, friends and carers of people experiencing addiction or mental health concerns. The course is available to everyone, including those with loved ones who are still struggling, who are already in treatment or who are in recovery.
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 centre 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.
