Community Support in Liverpool at RIVER drug and alcohol services
Emerging Futures work in partnership with Change Grow Live and The Forward Trust in Liverpool, providing therapeutic group work programmes (Atlas) that meet people wherever they are in their journey.
Emerging Futures also provides recovery support for people once they are abstinent. We offer regular check ins that encourage people to strengthen their recovery and re-connect to community.
The service also provides family support to family members affected by a loved one’s drug or alcohol use. For those who have an interest in recovery coaching and want to support others we offer Coaching Essentials; a 5-day accredited training course for people looking to volunteer at Emerging Futures.
