What others have said about this course
“This course challenged my preconceptions and showed me which approaches can limit or aid recovery. The interviewees and their messages are compelling. Despite differences in their experiences, each one benefits from humane and focused help: help that rightly keeps them in control of their own lives and recovery. That realisation—and understanding the approaches which make it possible—are invaluable.” Stuart, UK
