Taking Charge of Your Alcohol Use

Pretty much wherever you go in Australia, drinking is part of life. We drink to have fun, to socialise, to relax, to celebrate, to reward ourselves, to escape feelings of boredom, sadness or anxiety.

Alcohol’s accessibility and prevalence in Aussie culture makes it easy for drinking to become part of everyday life and to drink more than you intend to. Drinking every day, needing a drink before you can do certain things or binge drinking on weekends – these can all be indicative of a drinking problem.

If you think your drinking might be a problem and want to find out how Helm can help book a 20 minute advisory session with one of our trained professionals.

The team at Helm has over 25 years’ experience helping people to assess their alcohol use, understand their patterns and implement tools for change. Helm offers online counselling and coaching as well as over-the-phone and in-person sessions.

Whether this is the first time you’ve thought about getting help – or if you feel like you’ve tried everything – our team has the skills, training and experience to help.
