Alcohol, drug use and gambling can impact a person’s life in all areas, when it is no longer social. Sometimes people have tried to stop, or make changes on their own, but have not been able to keep the changes going. Reaching out for help can be the first step needed to start the recovery process. The Addictions Early Recovery Group is available to help people who are working toward an abstinence based recovery.

This group is for people who are in the early stages of making changes and looking at how to live their life alcohol, drug &/or gambling free. Complete abstinence is not required to join, but people are working toward an addiction free life. Support will be provided by Clinicians of NL Health Services to group members to explore their use, set goals, and to gain skills to make changes in their life. This is a safe, non-judgmental space.

This is an open group that people can join at any time. Weekly attendance is encouraged. This group will be held on Wednesdays from 1:30-3:30 (island time). Please email nlgroups@nlhealthservices.ca to get more information – Please indicate which group you are connecting for in your subject line.

We would like to invite you to take part in our Wellness Wednesday’s. Wellness Wednesdays provide the opportunity for all residents of the province (age 18+) to learn information, and tools, to support good mental health. These sessions are offered by local mental health staff who are a part of the Mental Health Program of NL Health Services. Each week there will be a different topic of learning. People can attend one week, or as many as they like.

*What these sessions are for:
Sometimes we can get overwhelmed looking for the right information to help us improve our mental health. Sometimes we have not had the opportunity to access information and learn effective skills. These sessions will provide a safe, low barrier way to access information that is effective and relevant to you. Sessions will be offered by zoom so that people can access them from the comfort of their own home, no matter where they live in the province.

*How it works:

When emailing please indicate the date you are seeking to register for.
Sessions are free.
People are encouraged to turn their camera on, but it is not mandatory (you also do not need to provide your name when attending).
If you have any requests or suggestions for additional topics please feel free to let us know. Future sessions to be announced.
