Project Hope and Thrive Alcohol Tobacco and Other Drug Counselling

THRIVE is a whole of health counselling program for people experiencing substance use concerns. If you have mental and physical health concerns, we work with you and other health professionals to give you the best opportunity for health, hope and a meaningful life.  These principles underlie our work with you:

Trauma Informed Holistic Recovery Oriented Integrated Care Voluntary Engaging Families	​	​ A family-inclusive approach provides support for individual family members and significant others. People experiencing chronic health concerns will be offered an integrated multi-disciplinary health care response. A harm minimisation approach is taken.
Hearing Other Peoples Experiences	​	​ The Project HOPE program provides peer support from people who have a lived experience.

Our team works toward reducing stigma in the community for people and families living with substance use and mental health concerns. We provide opportunities for people to share their lived experience of substance use and mental health concerns at forums, conferences and training workshops. Through giving people in our community a choice of ways to have their voice heard, we can improve what we do and share with the community that recovery is possible.
