Asking for help is not always simple. We may not understandwhat is happening to us and we may be too confused to setclear goals. But one thing has become obvious:"You do not want to go on with the way things are!"

There are many challenges. But there are more reasons thanever to start on the journey of recovery. We have recognisedthat below all the symptoms and pains of our problems thereis hope. Reach out! With hope, the songs of recovery awaken.Your song too, is a song of recovery!

An essential part of SHARC’s culture is that our participants donot only receive help but also give it. Often we are deniedthese opportunities in our formal helping systems. But ourexperience has shown that taking on a helping role is exceptionally beneficial and possibly the most important wayto feel better and to be helped ourselves.

This is what we know in our hearts: "It feels good to be a helper – the more you put into it, themore you get out of it!"

Many accounts of responding to addiction are told as stories ofwhat professional services have done for people affected byaddiction related problems. As a result people affected aresilent, hidden and depicted as passive. At SHARC we have integrated skilled professional help withour experiential know-how. We have demonstrated that weare competent and capable and with appropriate resources canfind solutions to problems.

"We are living proof that there are real solutions to addiction!"

As experts by experience, we know that we can infuse hopeand healing into drug treatment systems that have fostered aculture of low expectations in the past. In the face of stigma,contempt and discrimination, we have learned to speak outand enlighten drug treatment professionals and thecommunity with the truth about our lives, empoweringourselves in the process.

At SHARC we are building "roads to recovery". We are pavingthe way for a new holistic way of helping.

Get Help Give Help Help Yourself The SHARC Story

At SHARC we envision a world where people facing severe addiction relatedproblems will recover and achieve a personally meaningful, satisfying andcontributing life. The healing process is a living reality when people have access to supportive environments, knowledge, self help resources,empowerment opportunities, skilled professional help and social justice.

The SHARC vision was born out of the reflections of a small group

of recovering people who had found a better life for themselves.

It has grown out of the frustrations of getting the run around in a fragmented service system that is largely focused on symptom management. It has been strengthened by the

love and the demand of family members to have a voice, instead of feeling excluded and treated as‘part of the problem’.

We may not have found all the answers but at SHARC we know that we have built acommunity that is full of life, hope, energy and recovery. There is a

growing conviction and confidence in our model.

Family Drug Help - a peer based program including a telephone helpline run by family members for family members in collaboration with Turning Point Alcoholand Drug Centre. This allows the blending of peer-based support with professional practice. We provide opportunities for emotional and practical support,information and education, social and friendship activities and advocacy to improve the systems of treatment and care. The service helps familymembers to build their capacity to cope and deal with the problems and to improve their skills to provide ongoing support, love and hope to the family memberwho uses alcohol or other drugs in a problematic way.

Recovery Support Services - a specialist alcohol and drug residential service for young people (32 places) with severe problems related to their use of alcoholand other drugs. The service provides a safe, supportive, home-like, and drug free environment in which young people learn how to live without the needfor drugs and be happy about that. In addition, SHARC provides supportive counselling services for ex-residents, peer support groups, recovery education,and a specialist consultation service dealing with the professional facilitation of mutual self help and peer based support approaches.

APSU - The Association of Participating Service Users - a unique service user centred initiative in Australia. APSU was specifically established to assistdrug treatment service user to have a voice and participate in all aspects of the drug service system including planning, design, implementation, servicedelivery, policy formulation and evaluation of drug services. Effective service user participation enures that services provided are ‘needs led’ and of the qualityintended.

Service and Resource Centre - a service that provides accurate advice and information. The Centre incorporates our telephone help line, library services andaccess to up to date referral and service information. We produce newsletters, a range of publications that respond to issues of concern and we providetechnical assistance and consultation to other self help and community groups.

Education and Training - a program that includes a speaker bureau, volunteer training services and a range of educational initiatives that focus ondisseminating SHARC’s innovative services and helping model.

SHARC defines itself as an inclusive learning communitythat interweaves diverse knowledge bases includingexperiential, theoretical, evidence-based, intuitive, practicebased and the spiritual. We work in close collaborationwith re-searchers, leading professionals, and experts byexperience, self help group and other stakeholders who canbuild and strengthen SHARC’s support systems to helpthose in need.

GET HELP Give Help Help Yourself SHARC at work

There is a lot of talk these days about generating ‘social capital’ and ‘community capacity building’, butfrankly we do not see any evidence of this in alcohol and drug services. Most people continue to be treatedas passive recipients of so called ‘expert professional care’. Much of treatment is preoccupiedwith serving people’s dysfunction, focusing on their deficits and managingproblems. ‘Low expectations’ have become manifest and passivityand ‘victim mentalities’ have become normative.

At SHARC we have accepted that simply ‘getting help’ is notsufficient. Our empowerment model of helping assumes thatpeople are competent and capable of giving help as well asgetting it. The experience that we have something to offer aswell as receive from other human beings is a powerful one.

At SHARC we have taken the significant step to embrace the skillsand expertise of the people who have lived experience.

We are aware that linking professional and self-help strategies maynot be a panacea. But we also know that only the empathicunderstanding and support of peers can give people what they mostneed - the kind of approval and encouragement that makes it safe forpeople to recover.

And there is nothing more powerful than an idea whose time has come!

”When I first came to SHARC I was completely isolated, just

using drugs. I had no friendships or love in my life at all; my

feelings were dominated by hatred of the world and myself

in general. The first connection I had with another

person was with Kathy. She allowed me to open up and

share some of myself. She made me feel safe to do this,

and I started to learn to trust other people in recovery. I

now have loving friendships for the first time. I never

knew how to love as a friend and be there for others,

this is the most special gift I have received since coming to SHARC

and beginning my recovery"

We experience a sense of shame and guilt that is often overwhelming and that has kept us silent. Many ofus have felt that we have been blamed by professionals and we have to fight to be included in the treatmentand care of our loved ones. Often we are told that our loved ones can’t be helped.

The truth is that we too get caught up in the addiction and go through a lot of pain. And today I also knowthat as a family member, I too can be in recovery. And for me, being in recovery has given me a confidencethat I can deal with these problems, that I can be of help. And guess what, with whatI have learned I have become very resourceful and I know how to offer support.

“Seeing someone that I love so much deteriorate was heart breaking. I never reallyunderstood what was going on around me. I felt like I had failed as a daughter. Myjourney with SHARC’s family programs helped me start to understand myself aswell as my father. Unfortunately it was too late for my fatheras he had already passed away, but it wasn’t to late for me.Thesupport at family drug help was amazing, in asking for help Irealised that I was not alone”.

In the recovery community we need heroes. Some heroes become famous foramazing campaigns against social injustices. Many are never heard of. This latterform of heroism consists simply of this: in the face of stigma, contempt anddiscrimination, people just rebuild their lives and ‘live their dreams’.

It has been very difficult for us to understand and developexplanations for our addiction problems. But our experienceand reflection is teaching us that we are not to blame for thecircumstances that have led us into this painful position.

Through self-help principles we have realised that even thoughwe are not to blame, we need to accept the responsibility forsolving these problems. This is the heart and soul ofempowerment.

Through blending our experiential knowledge, our practice wisdom and our professional skills weencourage the empowerment of people to rebuild their lives. We offer informational support; emotionalsupport, practical help, companionship and we claim the right to define what is ‘true’ for us.

However, we have learned that helping ourselves is not just recovering from problem alcohol and drug use.Recovering from the consequences of having this problem is sometimes more difficult. These consequencesinclude prejudice, discrimination, ‘being despised by society’, alienation and the iatrogenic effects ofprofessional treatment.

Helping approaches that fail to take on an advocacy role are therefore quite limited in their usefulness andmay unintentionally perpetuate the old myths that people "only have themselves to blame".

The SHARC storyMuch of the strength of SHARC’s approach is based on the spirit of self help culture: empowering ourselves to make those decisions that directly affect our lives,taking responsibility for ourselves and for others and embracing the extraordinary value of mutual support, hope and recovery.

The Recovery Support Service provided assistance to 109 young people including supportive counselling, advice, information, appropriate referral andresidential support.

• We conducted over 150 recovery training sessions and a range of skill development programs including relapse prevention, self care and living skills training.As usual, the participants in the residential service embraced a number of helping roles and gave freely of their time to provide support to new residents, tomanage and maintain the SHARC van, help conduct community meetings and coordinate the recreation program including two discovery trips.

Family Drug Help is continuing to grow and build its reputation as an important family resource in the Victorian community.

• Our telephone helpline volunteers answered some 5000 calls. In response, we sent out thousands of ‘information packs’ and encouraged callers to attend themutual support groups. An additional 45 family volunteers were trained to work on the Helpline. We launched our first booklet in the ‘Speaking Out Series’ –“Is someone you care about using drugs" and distributed over 12,000 copies throughout Victoria. We continued to resource 16 self help family support groupsacross the State with an estimated 400 family members actively participating. The quarterly Family Drug Help Newsletter was distributed to over 7,200Victorians providing much needed information and support.

The Association of Participating Service Users ensured that service user involvement is alive and well in Victoria.

• We participated in numerous advisory and reference groups, conducted research exploring the experiences of people who seek help from drug treatmentservices – to be published as part of the ‘Speaking Out Series’, acted as consultants on a number of service establishment projects, recruited service users formany of interviews and focus groups and presented the experientialist perspective in several forums and conferences throughout the year. A highlight in 2004was the ‘Stigma Kills Campaign’ on the steps of Parliament House in Melbourne during National Drug Action Week.

Bringing in the voices of "lived experience"Ultimately, we all know that ‘expertise by experience’ is one of the most important trends to occur in the field of alcohol and drug services in decades. We arealways grateful for the opportunities to participate. During the year we have contributed to the following initiatives:

From the ChairpersonThis year has been challenging and exciting for all of us at SHARC. One of the most significant achievements has been, at long last, finding a newhome. This is a giant step forward for SHARC and we are working hard to transform the building into our new headquarters. Another notable eventthis year, was our strategic planning weekend and it was good to strengthen our relationship with steering committee members. The workshopwas expertly facilitated by Alison Ritter and provided much direction for this organisation over the next 3 to 5 years.

The SHARC community deserves recognition and praise for the enormous amount of work that goes on here. This effort is the reason why our services andprograms prosper. This is also why we are making a real difference in people’s lives. I believe SHARC does great things for the right reasons. I often get a flashof insight into the great human qualities evident in the people involved at SHARC and I really cherish these moments. For the young residents it takes a lot ofcourage and humility to seek help and it takes much wisdom to accept it. We see similar qualities in the Family Drug Help volunteers who often came to usneeding support and are now our volunteers helping others. We receive help and we offer it. This reciprocity is the spirit of SHARC. I am certain it will neverchange. We owe our thanks to all the people who keep this spirit alive and well. Their combined enthusiasm and leadership is outstanding.

From the Chief Executive OfficerOne of the many themes evident in this year’s annual report is ‘being on a ‘journey’. Many people, including myself have experienced recovery asa liberating journey. But it is not without its price. The challenges of facing underlying issues of isolation, fear of intimacy, repressed trauma andthe cultural pain caused by stigma and systematic discrimination present an enormous struggle. We often talk about the ‘miracle of recovery’ anddescribe it as a ‘heroic journey’. Well, for those of us who have been through it, this is a profound truth. Achieving the goal of complete recoverymeans healing from addictions, both in the primary sense of ceasing to behave in self destructive ways, and in the broader sense of regaining our

capacity to self actualise and be free of culturally-induced shame.

We are constructing ‘roads to recovery’. Our stories report how people affected by addiction problems are rebuilding their lives and shaping their collectivecircumstances. This year, SHARC has continued to put the ‘promise of recovery into practice’. The level of commitment, participation and support from all thestakeholders clearly shows that this is a shared vision and effort. It is my hope that reading our annual report will encourage you to get involved. We alwayshave a place for dedicated, passionate individuals ready to energise our recovery community. To all our past, present and future partners – Thank you

Our organisational context of practiceSHARC is a membership-based organisation. Our board is made up of ‘experts by experience’ and complemented by visionary professionals. As volunteers theyguide the long range planning, fund-raising, budget and strategic directions of SHARC, keeping us focused on our mission.The board has delegated programmaticgovernance to steering committees that plan and direct the delivery of services in each service area. Membership of the steering committees is also a skillfulblend of two types of expertise working in partnership – expertise by experience and expertise by profession. The CEO is hired and evaluated by the board. Directcare programs are supported by a corporate services unit that enables the service areas to focus on their work. We hire staff with both lived experience andformal professional qualifications. Lots of them. We work with program participants and they are never just service recipients. There are many other valued rolesfor them in our community such as helper, support person and worker.
