Mark Powell wins national Smart Recovery family and friends Facilitator Award


Congratulations Mark Powell on winning the national Smart Recovery family and friends Facilitator Award!

Mark facilitates a WRAD Health family and friends meeting on the Smart Recovery platform, as a voluntary addition to his work as CEO.

This recognition, announced tonight in Sydney, shines a light on the importance of supporting loved ones who often feel overwhelmed and unsure of how to help those struggling with addiction.

Through our group, we provide a safe space for families and friends to share their experiences, gain practical tools, and navigate this challenging journey together. This award is a testament to the power of community, compassion, and evidence-based guidance in empowering loved ones to take care of themselves while supporting others.

At WRAD health we’re not just supporting individuals; we’re strengthening families and creating pathways for lasting recovery.

Thank you to everyone who has trusted us to walk this path with you. Together, we continue to make a difference!

Our Vision & Values

WRAD HEALTH’s vision is to advance the health and wellbeing of those in the South Western Region of Victoria affected by Addictive behaviours and to promote optimal enjoyment of life.

WRAD HEALTH seeks to provide comprehensive, holistic support and treatment to individuals and others affected by addictive behaviors and associated issues.

The philosophy of harm minimisation underpins the delivery of all programs offered by WRAD HEALTH. This principle recognises that people in our society use both licit and illicit drugs, and that drugs can be used in ways that are more or less harmful to individuals, families and society. Harm minimisation offers a number of options designed to reduce the harm of drug use to the user and society.
