Our crisis cafe, led by active substance users, designed by members, focused on recovery, healing, Islam, a warm space, cultural food & our own 12 step programme was busy yesterday. We had a Coach present Islamic healing & harm reduction; @NevilleSouthall @DrGilluley #BlackFriday
Our lead Mukhtar M has really impacted substance misuse services as per his data, over 67 referred to @changegrowlive @ResetRecovery & over 280 people engaged with. The model focuses on deep healing & creating safety @newhamcommunity @LutfurRahmanTH @kieran_andrieu @MaiumMiah
The entire substance misuse debate needs urgent attention. Partners are trying their best, but how treatment is provided & how healing is provided must be reimagined. We create safety & we listen to listen; @ScrtDrugAddict @TNLUK @BlackEquityOrg @TheVoiceNews #WorldcupQatar2022
“You don’t get over an addiction by stopping using. You recover by creating a new life where it is easier to not use. If you don’t create a new life, then all the factors that brought you to your addiction will catch up with you again.”

As experts by experience we know recovery is a daily action & that there are no perfect routes. But culturally competent care & healing works, this is why we have secured a new contract in another London Borough, this week, Alhamdulillah; @MayorofLondon @th_somali @AmyLWGibbs
