'Sustainable Recovery: Friends, Homes and Jobs'
The government Drugs Strategy states that "We know recovery is only achievable through a partnership-based approach with action taken across a range of services" and highlights the crucial role of "jobs, friends and homes" in recovery from addiction:
The conference will examine the role of employment and meaningful activity, positive social networks and stable housing in recovery from addiction and how local leadership and partnership working are essential to create an environment in which recovery capital can flourish. We will hear from national speakers, local services and service users themselves. The intended audience for the conference is local leaders and practitioners who can mobilise recovery capital resources to support individuals and build recovery communities.
