Transforming Lives: Employment Support in Addiction Recovery with WDP
“We work really closely with a reviewer and we've actually been in talks with our reviewers as well, just to kind of learn as well, because it's not intended necessarily as an audit or an evaluation.”

In this episode of 'Addictions Edited', host Rob Calder sits down with Rebecca Odedra, Harj Bansil, and Claire Bowey from WDP's Individual Placement and Support (IPS Into Work) service.

Harj and Claire discuss the stigma that clients often face and how they work to break down these barriers. From vocational profiling to celebrating small victories, this episode offers a heartwarming look at the transformative power of employment in addiction recovery.
