The joint initiative between Turning Point, Self Help Addiction Resource Centre (SHARC) and the Bouverie Centre has delivered over 140 workshops state-wide since the program began in late 2015. Turning Point Director Professor Dan Lubman said the program is an excellent opportunity for three major statewide services to work together to reduce the harms associated with ice use. ‘This program aims to provide an insight into what ice is, how it affects people and how to support family members into treatment,” Professor Lubman said. “We will also provide people with practical approaches in caring for themselves and other family members.’ The program is equally suitable for both interested community members and families who are directly impacted by a loved one’s ice use. Attendance is free but registration is essential.
