Nottingham Recovery Network

We were honoured to host Dame Carol Black and Dr Adrian James at the Wellbeing Hub earlier this week 🌟

It was a valuable opportunity to talk through our co-occurring mental health and substance use pathway, supporting people to address both needs together. With 1 in 5 people in mental health services also facing substance use challenges, this collaborative approach is vital.

This work is only possible through strong partnership working across the city, bringing services together to deliver truly joined-up care 🤝

Thank you to Dame Carol and Dr Adrian for their insight and encouragement of this important work.

This week is Men’s Health Week 💙

In the UK, more than two-thirds of people in treatment are men, with even higher proportions across different substance groups.

At NRN, we have a dedicated men’s group as part of our community rehab pathway, offering a safe space to connect, share and take positive steps forward.

Looking after your mental health is looking after your whole health. Break the stigma and make support accessible for everyone. 🤝

Happy Pride month! 🌈

We’re proud to celebrate love, identity and belonging in all its forms. 💛 At NRN, everyone is welcome exactly as you are.

However you choose to mark Pride, know that celebrating sober, quietly or in your own way is just as valid. Pride isn’t one size fits all. It’s about being true to you.

Thank you to everyone who came along to the Access Project Recognition Awards - what a brilliant turnout! 🏆

We heard some really powerful stories from staff who’ve been at the heart of the project, celebrated the people who’ve made it what it is, and managed to get through a respectable amount of cake along the way. 🍰

Here’s to women backing women, making sure that every single one is seen, heard and supported. 🌷
