Training day for pastoral workers on helping people with addiction. The day will aim to educate and inform churches around addiction and how to work with and support people who are struggling with addictive lifestyles. There will also be guidance on how to run a ‘Building Recovery’ group.

Feedback from previous Building Recovery workshops:
This day offered me a structure on which I can build my contact with heroin addicts. I now have the confidence to interact with my clients. Great day. Excellent quality. (Phil, Recovery Coach, Preston Drug and Alcohol Service)
This workshop gave me a greater understanding of addiction and clarification of a successful approach to working with those who wish to break the cycle of their addictions. I just wanted to say thank you. The workshop was much appreciated. (Sue, Psychologist, NHS)
Thank you for a brilliant day with so much detailed information. Your experiences are so relevant and needed today. (John, Recovery Coach, Private Rehabilitation Centre)
