Are you ready to take the first step?

Helm’s Power to Change program provides targeted support for alcohol and drug use, and problematic gambling. It’s for people who want to make changes but are not sure where to start.

Helm is currently running a FebFast initiative, allowing clients to access ALL SIX SESSIONS of the Power to Change Program FREE OF CHARGE when booked between 17 – 28 February 2025. A total saving of $300 which is the cost outside of this initiative (40 minute sessions at $50 each).

In this six-session program you’ll learn about what triggers your drinking, drug use or gambling, and why change isn’t easy. Your counsellor will work with you to identify the changes you want to make, whether that’s cutting down, reducing the impact, or stopping altogether – it’s up to you.

The Power to Change is an online program that provides some simple strategies to help achieve your goals. There are short online activities to complete between each session that will guide the discussion with your counsellor when you meet.

You’ll book 6 x 40-minute sessions at a time that suits you and you can access the program remotely from any location.

It’s an important first step, and depending on your situation, may be all you need to achieve your goals, while others might require further support.

Choose a Power to Change counsellor, find a day and time that suits, then proceed to booking your 6-session package
