Do you know what enabling addiction looks like?
👉 Providing money that could be used to purchase substances
👉 Covering up or making excuses for the person’s behaviour
👉 Taking on responsibilities that the person neglects due to their addiction
👉 Avoiding discussions about their addiction out of fear of conflict
It’s important to recognise enabling behaviours and shift towards supporting the individual in healthier, more constructive ways.
If you’re unsure how to help a loved one struggling with addiction, reach out to us. We’re here to guide you on how to provide the right support.

Early morning hikes to Puling Brook Falls 🍃
We love having different activites for our guest to get involved and have fun with. This is frisbee golf which we set up "holes" aka buckets, around the property. As you can see Flo definitetly approves of this one!
Mental health day
Yesterday was National Mental Health Day and what better way to spend it, than to spend the day focusing on positive mental health at Seaworld on the Gold Coast. We were able to go on rides and experience the positive work they do there to protect the marine animals in the wild. Check out this amazing Jellyfish from the Griffith University sea jelly research laboratory!
Our new babies are keeping us all amused 💕🐐
Drumming with Gabriel! Make some noise!!! Thanks also for teaching us a little bit about Ghana as well as drumming!
Lovely morning for a spot of croquet
at Murwillumbah Croquet Club.
We had a walk at Natural Bridge Falls this morning. Such a serene spot. Clean and fresh just like our guests!
So much peace and serenity at Crystal Castle today 🙏
Rehab is so boring 😂
This doesn't look fun at all...
☀ Mt. Warning // Wollumbin
Wollumbin is a our peaceful warrior. His name means "big fella" or cloud catcher. It's a four hour trek full of natural beauty and transformative energy. We are so grateful to be able to walk this sacred path.
