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.
Imagine the impact of landing a job after years of struggling with addiction. 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. They dive into the nitty-gritty of how their program helps people not just find jobs, but keep them. The team shares real-life stories and the emotional highs and lows of working in this field.
Rebecca explains how the IPS model, originally used in mental health settings, has been adapted for addiction recovery. 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. Whether you're a professional in the field or someone looking for inspiration, this conversation is packed with insights and hope.
