Thorne Harbour Health offers therapeutic alcohol and other drug support groups throughout the year:
Anchor:
Anchor is an eight week program for gay, bi+, and queer men (including cis, trans and masc-identifying people) who want to change, control or stop their alcohol use. In a safe and supportive place, we’ll chat about sex, sexuality, health, relationships, and alcohol use - exploring these issues through group discussion.
Anchor is a confidential and non-judgmental group where we can talk about the role alcohol plays in our lives and our communities. The group will focus on when and why we drink, and we'll explore strategies to manage our alcohol use. We support all people to develop and reach their own goals around alcohol use, ranging from safer drinking and reduction, right through to stopping altogether.
Re-wired:
Re-wired is an eight week program for gay, bi+ and queer men, aimed at helping you learn skills and strategies to change your methamphetamine use and manage your mental health. The group focuses on topics including: relapse prevention, methamphetamine and the brain, HIV/STIs & sex, mental wellbeing and mindfulness, intimacy, and relationships. Participants identify their specific goals around their use, explore their triggers, and develop strategies to achieve their goals.
Drink Limits:
Drink Limits is an eight week program for lesbian, bi+ and queer women (cis, trans and female identifying) who are concerned about their drinking. Drink Limits is facilitated by two experienced counsellors. The group explores the barriers that get in the way of changing your drinking habits. It also offers a space to share techniques that might be useful in your goal to reduce or stop drinking and attain a level of resilience to deal with life’s problems in ways that don't include alcohol.
