At Holyoake, we give people impacted by alcohol, drugs and mental ill health the support, hope and confidence they need to live the life they choose. By having an open door. By listening. By offering free, personalised help for anyone who needs it, whenever they’re ready.
In 1975, our founders John Keating and Anita Day established Holyoake to champion a new, non-judgemental, family-systems approach to supporting people, families and communities affected by alcohol and other drugs.
The premise was simple but revolutionary: when we come together with care and without judgement – as individuals and peer groups, as families and communities, as specialists and practitioners – we empower people to achieve better, life-changing outcomes.
Today, this holistic, evidence-based approach – the Holyoake Approach – encompasses mental health support and is the foundation of the wide-ranging and constantly evolving support, recovery and prevention programs we deliver across WA. This includes:
