PSYCHO-EDUCATION

At Safe Places, education doesn’t end; we value continued learning and consider it the heart of all our treatments. We champion the importance of helping you – and your loved ones – understand your diagnosis, triggers, and coping mechanisms. It’s the driving force behind your recovery, giving you the ability to pinpoint risk factors, identify potential triggers, and take ownership of your healing journey.

Backed by our in-house experts, this service goes far beyond a helping hand in recognising your symptoms. Exploring your treatment options, assessing your prognosis, and examining the circumstances that led to your diagnosis, from genetic predispositions to environmental factors, we’ll help you become an expert on your condition—with invaluable insight into the inner workings of your diagnosis, exploring the ‘what’, ‘why’, and ‘how’ behind it, this service has been referred to as “the empowerment of the affected” – and for good reason.

Regarded as a relapse prevention tool and a key component in the growth journeys of all scopes, this evidence-based service puts the spotlight on awareness. Take depression, for example. We’ll analyse your triggers, identify often-overlooked symptoms, and, if you’re comfortable, explore your family dynamic, developing a clear picture of how you got here, and importantly, where to go from here.
