ALF is a peer led organisation supporting those struggling and in need of community based support and integration. 15+ years' experience providing peer based therapeutic approaches to individual, group, and community wellbeing. This includes the need:
for a safe place in which to develop and grow
for a sense of both community and autonomy
to be able to both give and receive attention
to have mean
ing and purpose in their lives
What we do? ALF provide a programme of support services to those who suffer with emotional distress, and are struggling financially. This may leave them with a sense of being socially excluded and unable to move forward successfully in their lives. They may have, for example, suffered or be recovering from Addiction; Depression; Stress; Anxiety or Trauma, so will need support to become calm, acquire new interpersonal skills, and apply themselves to a career, a business, or other meaningful occupation. In the process of becoming more socially included, they will have opportunity participate in, and develop an ongoing and mutually beneficial Peer Support Network
The Core Programme consists of:
Resilience Building Workshop – to build emotional and social capacity
Enterprise Creation Workshop -to develop plans for career, business or voluntary work
One to One Coaching and Mentoring – to action those plans
Peer Support Coaching groups – to keep on succeeding
Community Support ongoing
Added Value
Alongside, combining the mix of emotional, enterprise guidance & client focus, another unique feature of the ALF Programme is that once you are part of the foundation, you will also have the opportunity to learn how to develop and be a part of an enduring community of supportive peers. ALF also bespoke programs for individuals. We have links with other Community based organisations and learning collectives which provide a platform for ALF clients to practice and hone their interpersonal and professional skills.
