National Recovery Month

National Recovery Month runs annually throughout the month of September.

The aims of the Recovery Month campaign are to highlight the positive steps individuals have achieved towards their recovery journey, whether from mental health issues or substance use from drink, drugs or both.

It also aims to reduce the stigma around recovery issues by promoting more open conversations about recovery and the support available.

As a supported housing provider, we work with many people who are the path to recovery. Last year:
• 59% of residents had mental health issues.
• 37% of residents had issues with drug and/or alcohol use.

Former Derventio resident Kath has shared her story of recovery from alcohol use and expressed her thanks to Derventio, and especially the Growing Lives project, which helped her path to recovery.

Kath’s story - Derventio
Once drink gets into your system you start making a fool of yourself. You’ll do anything for a drink. It makes me sick to think that’s the person I once was. I nearly lost contact with my children altogether through alcohol. What was good was that the people at Growing Lives never judged my addi...

This September we’re joining with Action for Happiness to celebrate Self-Care September.

A month-long reminder that self-care isn't selfish. It's essential.

Everyday there is a different reminder to look after yourself.

Today’s being “Notice the things you do well, however small”

Here at Derventio Housing Trust we’re all about the little wins, taking life one day at a time and always noticing the things residents and staff do well.

For example, a resident joining a gym is a small step that can lead to many benefits to their life such as increased fitness levels, improved self-confidence and reduced social isolation.

Residents can receive funding for the cost of gym memberships through our Sylvester’s Fund, that provides small grants so that people can buy essential items they otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford.

Our Housing Support Officers are always pleased to receive positive feedback from residents, for example when they leave us to move onto independent living.

Our staff and organisation benefits from knowing what we’ve done well and that the small things we do can make a big difference that isn’t going unnoticed.

So, take a moment today to think about something that you do well yourself, which may seem small, which can have a big impact.
