Programs

Creating Options

Creating Options is a twelve week treatment program for people who want help to address issues related to their alcohol or other drug use. Their team of specialists provide non-judgemental and confidential support through weekly counselling sessions and case management. They can help in areas such as relapse prevention, coping strategies, relationship skills, anger management, emotional regulation, mental health, and other life skills support. Creating Options can also help to coordinate care by engaging with existing healthcare and social services providers, or connecting to new providers. Their holistic approach means they help with all of the issues that might be contributing to, and maintaining, alcohol and other drug use. They work with each person to identify their goals, and provide practical solutions to make progress towards them.

Street Outreach Services

Their Street Outreach Services support people who are experiencing, or at risk of, homelessness to access services and achieve their goals. They provide non-judgemental and confidential support through referrals, information and a vital outreach of compassion. Their patrols visit parks, street sides and other accessible areas in the regions where we operate. Latest timetable available on https://vaks.mycommunitydiary.com.au/
