It’s Recovery Month, an opportunity to put addiction and mental health in the spotlight, and to promote the hope of change for all those struggling with substance misuse.

Recovery is possible for everyone and during September SIAS will be asking ‘What Does Recovery Mean to You?’

Service users, peer mentors, volunteers and practitioners will be invited to contribute, to encourage the conversation around addiction and remind those in need that help is available.

SIAS has helped hundreds of people to transform their lives, many of whom have then joined the team to carry on the vital work and help others make a fresh start.

What Does Recovery Mean to YOU?
