Supporting recovery through the transformative power of creative expression.
Overview
Recovering Voices is designed to support participants in residential and community alcohol and drug recovery programmes. Working alongside recovery services, we use creativity to help people find and use their own voice — often for the first time.
Who It's For
People in residential or community-based alcohol and drug recovery programmes, in partnership with recovery services, housing associations, NHS and third-sector providers.
What It Involves
The 12-week programme uses spoken word, music, movement and storytelling to help participants process their experiences and build resilience. Our Anonymous Space approach means participants can explore difficult material safely, without pressure to disclose personal details.
Outcomes
Enhanced confidence and self-expression
Stronger peer support networks within recovery communities
Improved mental health and wellbeing
New creative skills that support ongoing recovery
Reduced social isolation
