History
Our roots were planted in the primary care management of addictions in 2003. As we grew we came to understand that our person centred bio-psycho-social approach, and the tools and techniques that supported it, were transferable to holistic health and wellbeing.
What we do
We provide education, training and community based services which support "healthy change" in people and professionals living and working in disadvantaged areas and communities.
Which means that
We provide people with the knowledge, skills and confidence needed to become active participants in their care. We put people at the centre of our thinking, and understand the wider determinants of their health. With our support, people and professionals are more able to work together to achieve sustainable change and reduce health inequalities.
