Counselling for family and friends
Comments, complaints & compliments leaflet - community
"I felt welcomed and not pre-judged"
"It let me express my feelings and also stops me from getting angry and bottling things up"
"I feel able to explore reasons for my drug use in sessions, this isn't something I can think through myself or talk to with other people in my life"
"Over the last couple of years I have stopped shoplifting, stopped taking tablets (painkillers), trying to deal with my anger too"
"I was scared I'd see other drug users but instead it's like a retreat, I feel proud of the work I have done and it has given me more confidence to survive"
