Motiv8 has been awarded funding from Manx Lottery Trust which will support the launch of a new programme dedicated to supporting families affected by addiction.
The grant of £50,000 from the Trust’s Dormant Assets Fund will assist with the implementation of the M-PACT programme on the Isle of Man, which is a licensed programme currently being delivered across the UK and Ireland.
The M-PACT programme, which can only be delivered by trained experts, is an evidence-based family approach which aims to educate family members on dependency to alcohol, drugs, gambling or gaming and its impact on the wider family circle.
The M-PACT programme’s success rate was proven in an independent report in 2019, which concluded that the framework resulted in better communication, better understanding of each other’s positions in the family, and how family members can offer better support to one another.
Motiv8 Addiction Services will use the grant to fund staffing, travel, office costs, management and supervisions, the M-PACT license, M-PACT practitioner training and trainer costs.
