Pathways to Change Group

The Family Recovery Team at Catholic Care Lewisham will be facilitating the Pathways to Change Group starting on Thursday 23^rd FEBRUARY 2023. 

Pathways to Change is a 6-week, evidence-based group designed to support young people aged 12 – 18 to explore issues with alcohol and other drug use.  

The group aims to provide a secure, effective environment for exploring alcohol, drug or mental health issues. Topics covered include: 

• Interaction between substance use and mental health 
• Harm minimisation strategies.
• How and why do people progress from experimental or recreation use to more problematic use?
• How to know if you need to cut down or stop? 
• Can I make the changes I want in life?

This is a unique opportunity for young people to share their experiences, develop skills for life, and learn from other group members about what they find helpful.  

To find out more information about the group please contact Costanza Ravanelli:
