SMART Friends & Family Group

Being in a close relationship with someone struggling with a problem behaviour can be highly stressful.

The SMART Family and Friends Program is designed to support people who are struggling with a problem behaviour related to alcohol, drug use, gambling, hoarding or other behaviours of concern.

Anglicare Tasmania holds FREE 8-week SMART Family and Friends support groups that meet in person.

They will help you to:

  • Engage in self-care, focus on your own goals and values
  • Challenge your own thinking, explore your feelings and behaviours
  • Learn self-empowerment and self-resilience, seek support and problem solve
  • Put meaning and satisfaction back into your own life.

You can register your interest in joining a SMART Family and Friends group via our website or emailing us at SMART@anglicare-tas.org.au.

If the person you support would benefit from joining a SMART Recovery Group, you can find out more here: https://www.anglicare-tas.org.au/smart-recovery/smart-recovery-groups/

    Low Intensity

    Although brief, level 2 services include some direct contact with a mental health professional. You may also see therapists, coaches or social workers. There will be options to access these services via telehealth, face to face or over the phone. At this level, you should only need a few sessions or engagements before you start to feel more empowered to manage your mental health.
