Below: Jan A Gerber is the founder and director of Paracelsus Recovery in Zurich, Switzerland. Paracelsus Recovery was founded in 2012 as a specialist clinic providing discreet and state-of-the- art treatment solutions to UHNW families, individuals and celebrity clients suffering from mental health issues, addictions, and chronic medical conditions,
have in place. This starts with awareness building and education, can entail processes and contingency plans for when problems emerge, or specific strategies for dealing with already identified afflicted and difficult family members.
Live and learn Educate yourself, key family members, and principals about addiction and mental health issues. With knowledge, one can speak about the subject with confidence and in an informed manner, rather than being caught off guard or speaking from anger and fear. It is also easier to spot risk factors or behavioural cues. Sources can include the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) or the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug
Addiction (EMCDDA), or family coaches or therapists who have experience in the field. Educational courses specifically for business families or ultra-high net worth (UHNW) parents and families are available.
Help is available Most families are unaware what to do when a family member struggles with addiction or mental health issues. It is okay to be discreet when problems loom, but do not let your fear of recrimination prevent you from seeking help or from confronting the problem head on. You may hope that your struggling relative
will get back on track without assistance, but this is rarely the case. Waiting only allows addiction or mental health problems to grow worse, thus presenting a greater chance of damage to finances, reputation, relationships, and health. It is possible to receive quality treatment
where the unique situations and needs of UHNW families and individuals are understood and privacy is never compromised. Also, there are therapists with specific experience in working with UHNW families, with the empathy for and expertise in their unique situations. Engaging with such experts proactively with
focus on prevention will close a significant, but normally ignored, gap in current risk management strategies.
