Mutual aid groups

Mutual aid describes a group of people with similar experiences helping each other to overcome their issues at each stage of recovery. We know that these groups can have a positive impact on helping people to achieve and maintain recovery.

Groups often include people who:

  • no longer drink and want help to remain so
  • are thinking about stopping or actively trying to stop their alcohol use

Groups
