Camden Peer mentoring

The Camden Recovery Service and Islington Aftercare supports Camden and Islington residents who are in recovery from substance use issues.

Peer Mentors bring their personal experience addiction into the service, using it to help others to build their recovery capital by sharing experiences, signposting, and inspiring clients by showing them 'recovery is possible'.

Peers with the Camden Recovery Service provide one-to-one mentoring, co-facilitate group programmes and support people to link in with the recovery community in Camden and Islington.
