What to Expect
After you arrive at our treatment centre, our Family Services Team will contact and provide support to any loved ones you’ve listed (and provided consent for us to contact). Families may connect with the Family Services Team including its Family Counsellor regularly during and after their loved ones’ stay with us.
Our Family Services Program
Our complimentary Family Services are designed for the family, not the client. We want to help families better understand their loved one’s struggles and equip them with the needed tools to support loved ones once they’re finished treatment.
The Family Services are primarily educational rather than therapeutic. The code of ethics for counsellors is quite clear: Don’t bring up anything you can’t resolve before you finish. Most family issues are very complex and it would be unethical to pretend we could help solve them in two days. After finishing with Family Services, we encourage and help connect families with therapists in their local community for any deeper work they would like to do.
