Substance free thanks to Dianella Cottage

"Substance free thanks to Dianella Cottage"

About: Lives Lived Well - Katoomba (Dianella Cottage)

(as a service user),

Since I was 15 I have suffered from trauma and the resultant drug and alcohol problems. I have been in and out of use for 30 years, but the issue around drug and alcohol use was never addressed. Dianella is the first place I have ever attended that delivers tangible skills and understanding around the cycle of trauma, abuse, DV and drug abuse. After one year of care here I am substance free without trying. My life, my quality of life and my understanding and skills around my relationship with substance has completely changed with Dianella and the implementation of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy.

I manage the process of writing reports for the organisation's funding bodies, administer the client data system and prepare and analyse client data for reporting purposes.
