Volunteering Opportunities with Phoenix Futures - Essex ARC (Alcohol recovery community)

About

We provide support, advice and information around alcohol use. If you are finding that alcohol is causing problems in your life, we can help. Whether you want to reduce the amount you drink, or how often you drink, or abstain completely, we provide a range of support that is designed around your personal needs and aspirations. We know it’s not easy to address problems with alcohol but our experienced team will guide you through the support on offer. We use tried and tested methods to help you to work towards your personal goals. You can benefit from support on a one to one basis, including counselling and group support, where you can share experiences with other people with similar experiences. We also support family or friends affected by a loved one’s drinking. We are looking for volunteers either with personal experience of substance misuse and are in recovery or who have never experienced it but are willing to learn and support clients suffering from it as a recovery volunteer. Some of the duties expected from them will be to Co- facilitate groups, make follow up phone calls, home visit support, data entry etc… We also take counsellors on placements or qualified counsellors who are willing to give their time to us.
