Holistic Health Ayrshire Introduces A Support Group for Families Affected by Substance Use, Funded by SFAD
Empowering Families Through Holistic Healing
In a bid to provide comprehensive support for families grappling with the challenges of a loved one’s alcohol or drug use, Holistic Health Ayrshire has launched a new support group generously funded by the Scottish Families Affected by Drugs (SFAD). The initiative aims to create a safe space for families to share experiences, gain insights, and learn effective coping mechanisms.
Dates to Remember:
- Sunday, November 26, 2023 – 12pm
- Sunday, January 7, 2024 – 12pm
- Sunday, January 28, 2024 – 12pm
These dates mark the beginning of a series of gatherings designed to foster a sense of community and healing among families facing the complexities of addiction.
Holistic Healing Approach:
Holistic Health Ayrshire recognises that the impact of substance use extends beyond the individual struggling with addiction. Families often find themselves navigating a challenging emotional landscape, and this support group aims to address their unique needs.
The sessions will feature various holistic healing practices, including meditation techniques, crystal singing bowl/sound baths, and drumming. Participants will have ample time for open discussions, allowing them to connect with others facing similar situations. The overarching goal is to create a supportive network where families can share, learn, and heal together.
Self-Care Tips:
To provide practical tools for self-care, the group will share tips on maintaining mental and emotional well-being. Participants will be guided through meditation techniques to promote relaxation and reduce stress. Crystal singing bowl and sound baths will offer a unique sensory experience, contributing to a sense of tranquility.
Drumming, known for its therapeutic benefits, will be incorporated into the sessions as a means of self-expression and stress relief. The combination of these practices is aimed at promoting a holistic approach to well-being for both individuals and families.
Open Invitation:
Holistic Health Ayrshire extends an open invitation to all families affected by a loved one’s alcohol or drug use to join these empowering sessions. The support group provides a judgment-free environment where participants can share their stories, find solace, and build connections with others who understand their journey.
Attendees are encouraged to bring an open heart, a willingness to engage, and perhaps a favourite mug for a warm cuppa during the group discussions.
Join Holistic Health Ayrshire on the journey to healing and empowerment. Together, we can create a supportive community that fosters resilience, understanding, and hope for families affected by substance use.
