Drug/alcohol addiction can leave people with low confidence and self-esteem, preventing vital engagement with services for people who might be struggling. As an independent advocate specifically for adults with addiction, I am proud to give a voice to those who need it in our community.

How do we support adults with alcohol and drug issues?
  • Support you when you have important choices or decisions affecting your life
  • Support you at meetings and appointments where you feel your voice is not being heard
  • Ensure you have the relevant information to make informed choices
  • Help present your views to other services or organisations if you have difficulty doing so
  • Respect your confidentiality and provide a safe environment
  • Assist you in relapse prevention
  • Raise awareness of accessible groups, activities and support to attend when necessary

* Please note, we are an issue based service and do not provide transport only.

  • be safe 
  • be empowered
  • participate to a level they wish 
  • feel valued 
  • be respected 
  • be focused on and included
