OSCR Registered SC052487- Aberdeenshire Community Recovery SCIO
The Aberdeenshire Community Recovery (ACR) is a organisation which is delivered with a ‘grassroots’ approach utilising experiential community members to gain from their knowledge and understanding of what is required to develop and grow this Lived Experience Recovery Organisation (LERO)
The key aim of the ACR is to acknowledge any
social determinants of problematic substance use and mental health issues and to create safe environments that promote healthier behaviours and support recovery with a person centre and strength-based approach that demonstrates valued, safe and informed recovery-orientated practice. The ACR is directed specifically for the provision of community-based support through peer mentors to individuals, families, and small groups navigating personal and social challenges; but also incorporate provision for those in early recovery by giving the opportunity to expand on their potential. The ACR is aimed at anyone who is or has been directly or indirectly affected by problematic substance use, or considers their use of drugs and/or alcohol or their mental health to be impacting on their everyday life. The ACR is not only a safe space to nurture the development, health, and capacity of community members but also to provide one-to-one experiential support to people who are in earlier stages of recovery.
