Using a new programme of addiction awareness, education, counselling, peer support and information on intervention, Rise Foundation counsellors have designed education programmes to help change the way that addiction is understood in family systems.

By connecting with families, helping them to make it real, helping families cope with changes and the inevitable denial that may take place, The Rise Foundation programme gives a ray of hope to the families who are suffering from the disease of addiction.

Our aim is to:

Help families who have loved ones in addiction emerge from their powerlessness with pride, power and passion.

Train families in their own recovery

Educate families about Addiction

Raise awareness of addiction as a disease of the family

Change the family system by helping the family to care for itself

The RISE Family Programme is an 8 week education and counselling service for anyone who has been affected by addiction.

The evening starts off with a lecture, followed by group therapy facilitated by two addiction Counsellors.

Group therapy is a forum where approximately 10 to 12 people and 2 counsellors engage in group interaction and discussion for personal growth and development. The group aims to assist one another to become aware of behaviours that need to change. Group members develop interpersonal skills, learning and healing.

One outcome of group therapy is the instillation of hope in oneself and others for change, thus increasing one’s self esteem and self worth.
