Tailored Support for Every Need

With continuous intake and new sessions beginning based on demand, Eggshells offers a comprehensive program that includes 22 clinical care hours of virtual group counselling. Groups are held during the day and evening or on weekends. Each daytime or evening group meets for approximately three hours per week for eight weeks. Weekend intensive groups meet for six hours per day over four days (two weekends).

Following the group sessions, participants have access to 16 hours of counsellor-facilitated virtual peer support to continue to address the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual impacts of a loved one’s substance use. Individual and family counselling may be available for those waiting for the next group to begin or for those who need to prepare for a group experience. There is no cost to participate in Eggshells for qualified Veterans and Veteran family members in Canada.

Various evidence-based modalities are used to guide the therapy process, including (but not limited to): Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Relational Psychoeducation.
