Who is the training for?

Whole workforces, and people looking for practical, impactful personal development opportunities,have undertaken this innovative training programme. From family members who wish to develop a deeper understanding of what a person in recovery may experience, to employers looking to provide support, the knowledge acquired in this training programme holds value for people from all cultures and backgrounds.

People who are considering work in, or already employed in the health and social care sector, can all benefit from the knowledge applied to, and acquired via this workshop.

Learn to start and facilitate the right conversations, using powerful questions, develop listening skills, and understand the needs of the individual.

A Recovery Ally isn’t just an asset to people they already know. The example they set demonstrates the value of compassion and understanding across a much wider network.
