Taking Charge of Your Alcohol Use

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 our 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 – can all be signs of a problem.

If alcohol is causing issues in your life, Helm can help. We offer specialist counselling, as well as a more structured 6-session online program called Power to Change.
