IMPACT ON OUR WORKFORCE
“For people to sustain their recovery they need to be linked in with a range of appropriate support, including, family, social and peer support and have access to stable housing and employment, training or education opportunities. Without these elements in place to build “recovery capital” It is unlikely a dependent person will be able to sustain their recovery.” Dame Carol Black.
