Taking Charge of Your Alcohol Use
In Australia, drinking is part of life. We drink to have fun, to socialise, to relax, to celebrate, to reward ourselves, to escape feelings of boredom, sadness or anxiety.
Alcohol’s accessibility and prevalence in our culture makes it easy for drinking to become part of everyday life and to drink more than you intend to. Drinking every day, needing a drink before you can do certain things or binge drinking on weekends – can all be signs of a problem.
If alcohol is causing issues in your life, there are a number of ways Helm can help.
One of those ways is a new six-session program called Power to Change. It provides targeted help for alcohol use. You’ll learn about what triggers your drinking, how alcohol affects your body and brain, and why change isn’t easy. Your counsellor will work with you to identify the changes you want to make and provide some simple strategies to help you achieve your goals. The 6 x 40 minute sessions costs $300 and you can choose your counsellor and make a booking here.
Other ways Helm can help are listed below.
