Family Therapy

ARAFEMI and Odyssey House Victoria present the FAMILY ECLIPSE PROGRAM.

The Family Eclipse Program specialises in family therapy for young people 16-24yrs with problematic drug use and mental illness; including mood, psychotic and personality disorders.

It is a future and present oriented counselling program for families affected by a young adult’s drug use and mental health issues. The sessions focus on Education, Communication and Problem Solving Skills.

The Family Eclipse Program provides both individual family sessions and multi-family group sessions. Sessions involve any family member interested in participating and the young person with the dual diagnosis.

This program is offered at ARAFEMI, Hawthorn as families may feel more comfortable accessing drug and alcohol services at ARAFEMI.

When: Fridays between 9 am and 1 pm. 
Where: 270 Auburn Road; Hawthorn.

To enquire further about the program or make a referral please call the ARFEMI Helpline on 1300 550 265.
