Group work can feel intimidating at first, but it can become a powerful part of recovery.
In this video, James, a member of the Recovery Near You team talks about some of the concerns people may have about joining a group, particularly for those who experience anxiety or feel uncomfortable around people they don’t know.
The video explores how taking that first step and connecting with others can help build confidence, support mental wellbeing and strengthen recovery. It also highlights the value of bringing together professional knowledge and lived experience, with group cohesion and peer support at the heart of the programme.
For many people, the connections formed through group work can become an important and lasting part of their recovery journey.
