Program General Information

Family Care

  • Families are invited to attend monthly family programs- thereby helping families restore a healthy equilibrium. This is scheduled apart from family sessions as prescribed above. Family Seminars are held every second Saturday of the month from 10am to 2pm.
    It is during this time families will be invited for family sessions with our Social workers, Counsellors and Medical Staff on the premises.
  • Families will be equipped with various skills to cope with the behaviour of the resident
  • Various activities planned with the family for the restoration and trust to form again in the family.
  • Freedom Recovery Centre offers full support to the families of residents. Residents are encouraged to reconcile with their families, so you are more than welcome to phone us for advice or make an appointment for family counselling. The centre will hold monthly parent’s retreats, where parents will be invited to join us for a Saturday of education, recreation and reconciliation.
  • On returning home, after completion of the programme, one remains vulnerable and precautions need to be taken. It is essential that one continue to live a life with routine and discipline. As soon as possible, one should partake in a working routine, join a fellowship and attend church. Positive support system, i.e. family, friends, etc. are important in offering support, giving constructive guidance and setting limits. Trust takes time to develop and one needs to be given space to prove themselves.
