Henri Nouwen House was first established in 1992 in Bridgetown, Western Australia as the South West branch of Holyoake, offering support and education to families affected by alcohol or drug dependency.
Today 'Henri's' operates independently to provide a number of support programs and services to individuals and families experiencing crises of all kinds: alcoholism, drug dependency, relationship breakdown, domestic violence, physical or sexual abuse, or loss of a loved one. Henri's is a community based not-for-profit organisation that is mainly staffed by volunteers and funded independently, with some assistance from local shires.

Henri's has been going through a period of transition since late 2010 and has new staffing arrangements. Some of the people you might meet if you pay a visit to Henri's are Sue Ewing (Coordinator), Magaret Miskimmin (administrator), Lyn Baldwin (Youth Program) and Lyn Cannon (5th step counsellor).

In 2006 the management committee bravely launched its first recipe book to raise funds. The sales of this book were so successful that in September 2010 a second book was released. (Click here for details.)
