This is for anyone who lives with someone in recovery: parents, partners, friends, siblings.

A supportive home can make recovery feel less overwhelming. Small choices can make a big difference: reducing triggers, making space for calm, planning things to do together, and encouraging connection outside the house.

A supportive home isn’t perfect- it’s predictable, patient and kind.

saves lives, but getting hold of a kit isn’t always simple if you have mobility issues, live far from our Wakefield hub, or worry about being judged. Our new Click & Deliver service removes those barriers.

Just complete a quick online form (plus optional training), and we’ll send a free naloxone kit directly to you in discreet packaging.

Zita, one of Turning Point peer mentors, put it best:
“It’s saved my life, and I’ve used it to save others on multiple occasions.”

Even when you feel fine, drugs can slow your reactions and change the way you judge what's happening on the road. Driving needs your full focus, and using before you drive puts you and others at risk in ways you might not notice in the moment.

If you've used, wait it out or choose another way home. THINK Road Safety

We’ve created a new series of substance information cards to give you clear, honest information about drugs and alcohol – and how to reduce the risks when you use them.

Each card explains what a substance does, how it can make you feel, what the risks are and gives practical harm reduction advice to keep you informed and safe💛

The cards have been put together by our expert teams and people with lived experience – so the information is clear, current and trusted.

For some people, this season isn’t cosy- it’s loaded with pressure, triggers, memories, and fear of messing up. Trying to live differently can feel lonely and exposed.

These are small ways of getting through the days when it feels hardest.❤️

Support is here whenever you're ready: www.turning-point.co.uk/services/wakefield-inspiring-recovery

‼️Ketamine is harming young people faster than ever, and some of the damage can’t be reversed.

A new research shows that deaths involving ketamine have increased 20 fold since 2014. Many of these are now happening in complex polydrug situations, where mixing ketamine with alcohol, benzos, opioids or other drugs makes the effects far more dangerous and unpredictable.

If ketamine is starting to affect your health, routine or bladder or if you’re mixing it with other substances, you don’t have to wait for things to get worse.
