Our webinar will explore what recovery can achieve – and why it matters – as we near the end of this phase of the Drug and Alcohol Mission in Scotland.

Hear how:

  • people’s lives are transformed

  • how recovery orientated services create hope

  • how together they empower communities to thrive

We have partnered with Harbour Ayrshire to capture the powerful role of recovery services within communities. Their work helps:

  • us understand how treatment and recovery can be better integrated across the wider the drug and alcohol system.

  • unlocks capacity with a shared ambition to increase choice and instill hope

  • transforming lives and improve outcomes. 

Speakers will include staff and volunteers from Harbour Ayrshire. Their work empowers people in recovery, supporting their re-integration back into the community. During the session, they will share:

  • lived experience

  • frontline expertise

  • community insights from their work
