SHADE has been designed to help people experiencing both depressive symptoms and who are drinking alcohol or using other drugs. It has been trialled in a number of clinical and research settings with over 350 Australians.
If you decide to use the SHADE program, you will be taken through a process of working out which parts of your current lifestyle might be distressing, worrying or upsetting you. You can then access a range of tips, information and strategies to help change these particular parts, and develop a lifestyle that is more in line with your goals, wants and needs.
