Family Support

Families are our first line of defense and act as a protective factor. Strong and positive family relationships help recovering persons get through their challenges, break the cycle of re-offending and prevent inter-generational offending.

Services Offered

Families are offered mediation assistance and participation in bonding activities, talks and support groups.

FAMILY ENRICHMENT PROGRAMME

Called FR-EEd (which stands for Families in Recovery – Engaged and Empowered), family members are helped to understand and work through the recovery process of their loved ones. The programme is presented in two parts.

Family Engagement Talk: Family members are provided with information on addiction and a non-judgmental space for them to share the stresses and strains they face in living with a recovering person.
Family Support Group (FSG). This takes place after each Family Engagement Talk.

FAMILY SUPPORT & MEDIATION ASSISTANCE

Family support and a personal belief to change indicate a commitment to start anew. SANA provides a safe platform for persons in recovery and their families to foster, promote and rekindle familial bonds.

The Support Group sessions have helped my family better manage our feelings towards our brother, who is in recovery.

We have begun exploring better communication methods with our loved one.

More recreational activities for families and more support sessions, please.
