Hi there.
I rang today to start the process of getting help. I received a text message saying here is some info but there were no links. I thought I had to fill out a form or maybe I misunderstood the process.
Sorry not in a great headspace

Hey @Winnifer
SANE has two programs; depending on your postcode and what support you need.
We have the Guided Recovery program; which is 15 weeks long, includes up to six sessions with a counsellor or a peer worker, and up to six group sessions. This program is only available for certain postcodes at the moment, but you can check your eligibility for the program by heading to THIS webpage and scrolling down until you see "Two-step eligibility checker". You can then refer yourself for the Guided Recovery program.
If you aren't eligible for the Guided Recovery program, we also have the RecoveryClub program. This program is six months and predominantly involves access to groups. It doesn't include 1-1 counselling or peer work, like the other program but the groups are unlimited. You can learn more and sign up to RecoveryClub via THIS link.
If you'd like more information, you can also email getsupport@sane.org. There's also a web-chat function on our website, where you can ask questions to our team.
Hope this helps 😊
