When you join us, you won’t walk your healing journey alone. Our team will sit with you to create a personalised care plan that reflects your goals, needs, and hopes for the future. We’ll work together to connect you with services across health, community, housing, and wellbeing, so that everything works together to support your recovery. Your Care Coordinator is here to guide you, advocate for you, and walk beside you as your journey unfolds.

We understand that healing from AOD challenges often involves working through challenging experiences. Our counsellors offer one-on-one support in a safe, respectful space where your story is honoured. Using strengths-based, non-judgemental approaches, we focus on helping you rebuild wellbeing, confidence, and resilience at your own pace. You don’t have to carry everything alone — we’re here to listen, support, and help you move forward.

Sometimes the best support comes from someone who truly understands because they’ve walked a similar path. Our Peer Workers offer cultural mentoring, yarning, and guidance through shared lived experience. Together, you can explore healing, reconnect with culture, and build trust in a safe, judgement-free space. This is your chance to share stories, strengthen your cultural identity, and feel supported by someone who really ‘gets it’.

At GCHC, culture is at the heart of healing. You’ll have opportunities to reconnect with Country; take part in creative expression like art, dance and crafts; connect with others in yarning circles; and be guided by Cultural Mentors. Healing doesn’t just happen in a clinic — it happens through community, ceremony, shared meals, and spiritual connection. These practices honour who you are, where you come from, and where you are going.

You are not alone. In our group yarning circles, you’ll meet others walking their own recovery journey. Together, we create a safe space to share stories, support one another, and strengthen healing through connection. Facilitated by trained staff, these groups build confidence, community, and cultural strength while giving everyone a chance to be heard, respected, and valued.

Healing is stronger when families and carers feel supported too. We offer culturally safe education and support for family members to understand AOD recovery and learn how to walk alongside you. Our family support programs help rebuild relationships, strengthen kinship ties, and provide space for open conversations that respect everyone’s journey.

Recovery is about learning new ways to live strong and well. Our programs include harm reduction, life skills, relapse prevention, and emotional wellbeing training. You’ll learn practical skills that help you manage stress, build routines, strengthen culture, and create a healthier path forward for yourself and your family.

Our yarning circles incorporate age-old cultural practices of coming together, sharing our stories, learning from one another, and healing together.

Yarning circles are a way for people to come together, connect, share stories in a safe environment, and learn and heal together as a group. We offer yarning circles for group healing and cultural leadership, as well as health groups to learn how to manage their health better. This is the First Nations' way of coming together for healing business.
