The Bourke Street Program is a post-rehabilitation living skills program for men recovering from problematic substance use. The service is located in the inner-Eastern suburbs of Sydney, with clients living in local transitional accommodation close to support services located at the Haymarket Foundation’s AOD offices in Cathedral Street, Woolloomooloo.
The program supports men who are in recovery and at risk of homelessness with transitional accommodation, case management, counselling, therapeutic support groups, sports & recreation, living skills programs, and access to psychological services and relapse prevention programs.
The service works using a transitional, three-stage model to help men with a desire to change their life by providing the emotional and practical skills required to reconnect with family and friends, enrol in educational programs, re-enter the workforce and ultimately live a fulfilling life in the broader community.
