Introducing the Hope Valley Family First Wellness Program

Free Family Support Services for Loved Ones Impacted by Addiction & Mental Health

At Hope Valley Healing, we understand that addiction and mental health challenges don’t just affect individuals—they ripple through families, friendships, and entire communities. That’s why we’ve created the Family First Wellness Program, a free, ongoing support group for family members, partners, and friends of those struggling with addiction or mental health challenges.

And the best part? You don’t need to be affiliated with Hope Valley to participate. All are welcome.

What the Program Offers

Every Monday evening at 7:00 PM, we host a virtual Family Support Session—confidential, compassionate, and completely free of charge. No registration is required, and participants can drop in as often as they wish.

These sessions provide both practical tools and emotional support to help loved ones navigate the difficult realities of addiction and mental health.

Topics We Explore Together

Each week, our facilitators—drawing on both clinical expertise and lived experience—guide participants through skills-based psychoeducation. Topics include:

• Biology of Addiction – Understanding how addiction affects the brain and behaviour

• Co-Dependency – Exploring the roles family members often take on (caretaker, enabler, rescuer, avoider)

• Communication Skills – Learning how to foster healing and reduce conflict

• Relationship Dynamics – Addressing emotional regulation and rebuilding trust

• Managing Emotions – Navigating fear, anger, guilt, and grief with clarity and compassion

Why Families Matter in Recovery

Healing is most effective when families and loved ones are supported too. These sessions help participants:

• Understand their loved one’s challenges in new ways

• Learn healthy coping skills for themselves

• Rebuild trust and improve relationships

• Connect with others who share similar experiences

• Recognize that they are not alone

How to Join

The group is ongoing, with no timelines or obligations. Drop in whenever you’re able—our community will always welcome you.
