Healing Through Stories: Prof David Clark on Recovery's Winding Path
“Recovery really is about seeing that person with a rich life experience. We need to be celebrating the fact that people have overcome this, and the only way- we're not the only way, but one major way- is to hear from them.”

That’s how Prof David Clark describes the path to addiction recovery in this episode of 'Journeys - making recovery from addiction visible'.
