We believe that with the right support at the right time, people can and do recover fully.
Imagine having your life turned upside down by addiction, and then finding a beacon of hope in a community dedicated to helping you rebuild. That's what Double Impact Services offers to those struggling with addiction in the East Midlands. In this episode of Recovery Talks by Kennedy Street, host Clare Kennedy sits down with Graham, the Chief Executive of Double Impact Services, to discuss their incredible work in the field of recovery.
Graham opens up about the multifaceted approach of Double Impact Services, which includes personal development programs, education, training, volunteering, and employment schemes. These initiatives are designed to empower individuals to reclaim their lives and build a sustainable path to recovery. The organization also fosters mutual aid groups and safe spaces that promote peer support and a sense of community, crucial elements in the journey to sobriety.
One of the standout features of Double Impact is their social enterprise, Café Sobar in Nottingham. This alcohol-free venue not only provides a safe and supportive environment for those in recovery but also serves as a hub for community integration and mutual respect. Graham shares how Café Sobar has become a symbol of hope and resilience for many. The conversation takes a personal turn as Graham discusses his own experiences with addiction and the impact it had on his family.
He emphasizes the importance of family recovery, highlighting that addiction affects more than just the individual; it ripples through entire families and communities. With the right support at the right time, Graham believes that full recovery is possible for everyone. This episode is a powerful reminder of the importance of breaking down barriers and combating stigma around addiction. It underscores the need for inclusive, community-driven support systems that not only help individuals recover but also foster overall well-being.
Tune in to hear Graham's inspiring insights and learn more about how Double Impact Services is making a real difference in the lives of those affected by addiction.
