Family & Support System Education, Guidance & Assistance 

Helping families understand, support, and navigate recovery
 
Addiction affects individuals, but also the families and support networks that care for them. VIRAS is here to provide support for family members with the same compassion, understanding, and care that we do their loved ones. Our coaches can provide education and guidance to help loved ones better understand addiction, recovery, and the various ways they can provide meaningful support to their love one while maintaining their own wellbeing.
 
Family support focuses on increasing understanding, improving communication, and developing healthier relationships.
 
Our coaches can help family and support network members to:

• Understand substance use, recovery, and behaviour change

• Develop healthy boundaries, communication, and supportive relationships

• Understand healthy responsibility and the limits of your control.

• Build self-care and personal wellness strategies

• Access community and harm reduction resources

Recovery is a journey that impacts many people. VIRAS helps families and support networks develop the knowledge, skills, and confidence to support recovery while also protecting their own health and wellbeing.
