A free programme for families effected by parental addiction
The M-PACT Programme helps build resilience and coping strategies by promoting positive change and honest communication in a friendly non - judgemental environment.
M-PACT supports families to work together to understand how parental substance misuse has affected their lives. M-PACT promotes a whole family approach and focuses on helping and supporting families to make positive changes.
The programme, which is free, helps build resilience and coping strategies by promoting positive and honest communication.
A programme can bring together up to eight families at any one time, where at least one parent has or had an alcohol or drug problem and where there is at least one child aged 8-17 years old.
The programme runs for nine consecutive weeks. Each session covers a different topic, and combines separate group work with children and adults, work with family units and whole group work when all participants come together. Each family has a review session shortly after the programme ends and a reunion session, approximately three months later, bringing the families together for the final time.
