Over several years, these women have come together to draw strength from one another while sharing stories about the highs and lows of supporting a loved one living with problematic substance use.To complement these stories, Accredited Mental Health Social Workers Dr Georgia Hunt and Claire Walsh reflect on their experiences as clinicians who have facilitated the Strength2Strength Growing Family Resilience program. For many years, Georgia and Claire have had the privilege of working with individuals and families affected by complex concerns that fall within the realm of substance use, mental health, trauma, and domestic and family violence.
