PEER LED INITIATIVES

The services on offer are Holistics and a Check-In group. It is aimed at drug free service users. The Evening Recovery provides support, enhances well-being and strengthens connectedness amongst individuals in recovery.

Due to Covid-19 restrictions we staggering the group start times on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 6.30pm to 8.30pm. For more details call Eamonn on 087 263 2648
