Reviews from HBR Alumni

HBR has been incredibly important to my recovery. Brilliant group leadership, very useful tools introduced, high levels of trust, support and authenticity and the relationships built with fellow group members have been useful beyond what I expected.

JR

I participated in the HBR online addition program at the end of 2023. I am grateful to say I have been sober for 14 months. This is the longest period of sobriety I have experienced in over a decade of trying many programs, pills and plans!

The support, encouragement, cheerleading and wisdom from Michael and the HBR program has been instrumental in my success to date. This was the first time I did a one on one program which really fit my needs at the time. The other programs I tried in the past were group focused with a small portion one on one. I had success for short periods of time but the intensive one on one was my game changer.

I found the encouraging non judgmental support from Michael allowed me to dig deep and express my feelings. I am 60 so that is a lot of digging!! I am grateful that I allowed myself to seek help and bravely work hard.I am grateful HBR was there to stand by me and guide my journey!

Thank you so so much.

Health Risks That Make Mental Health Therapy Victoria Important

Untreated mental health concerns can affect nearly every aspect of daily life, including physical health, work performance, relationships, and overall quality of life. Persistent anxiety, depression, chronic stress, and unresolved trauma may increase the risk of sleep disturbances, substance use, social isolation, and long-term health complications if left unaddressed.

Recent systematic review evidence indicates that early intervention models for depression and anxiety in young people can improve access, reduce waiting time, and lead to better mental health and wellbeing compared with usual care. Accessing appropriate support early allows individuals to build healthier habits, strengthen resilience, and reduce the impact of ongoing mental health challenges.

Alcohol-related health risks often develop sooner in women and may progress more quickly. These can include liver complications, cardiovascular strain, increased cancer risk, and worsening mental health. According to the Government of Canada website’s overview of alcohol use and its impacts, women may experience alcohol-related harm at lower levels of consumption compared to men, highlighting the importance of early support. Sleep disruption and hormonal imbalance can also increase cravings, making patterns harder to break without structured care.
