Partner and family support
It can be very complicated if your partner or another family member is an addict or has psychiatric problems. Chances are you are dealing with complex behavior. You are concerned and would like to help the other person, but you don't know how.
When giving requires self-care
With partner and family support, we're here for you. We listen to your story. Together we reflect on what the other person's behavior is doing to you. In this way more and more clarity will develop about the situation and how you want to deal with it. You regain insight into what is important to you, and learn to act accordingly, step by step.
There are no ready-made solutions, but we work with you to improve the situation.
"It's very nice to talk to someone who doesn't judge.
Roswitha (age 42)
'It is very nice to talk to someone who does not judge. From the conversations I learned to put my own needs more first. And so I am now pursuing my own path ever more confidently - and naturally.'
'At first I didn't dare to talk properly'
Sarah (age 59)
'At first, I was afraid to talk about my addiction-prone family members and children. Through conversations with Partner and Family Support, everything is falling into place a bit better.'

."The fact that I am no longer alone in this gives me air and support."
Kees (age 75)
'I was living with a man who started behaving strangely. Tensions were running high. I couldn't take it anymore and my family doctor referred me to The Regenboog. Here I could tell my story and was listened to without judgment. During the conversations I was shown a mirror and I was made to think. The fact that I am no longer alone in this gives me air and support.
