The following new opportunity is available for Summerville patients.
Family Education Group: For Families and Friends of People with Addictions Concerns
Offered in collaboration with the Peel Addiction, Assessment & Referral Centre (PAARC), this group is intended for anyone who is supporting someone with addiction concerns. Over the course of 4 sessions, participants can expect to learn about the basic info related to addiction, how to prioritize personal well-being while supporting the people we care about. Participants are encouraged (but not required) to ask questions and share based on personal comfort. Outline is as follows:
Week 1: The Addicted Brain
Week 2: Substances and Withdrawal
Week 3: Boundaries and Self-Care
Week 4: Effective Communication
Sessions will be held weekly via Zoom, starting on March 21 from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Patients can register by emailing programs@summervillefht.com.
These offerings will complement our regular mental health programming such as Managing Insomnia & Sleep, scheduled to begin on April 10. All programs can be found at Programs (summervillefht.com)
