The Charity takes a uniquely comprehensive approach to fulfilling its mission, covering the spectrum from prevention to recovery; including providing residential and non-residential treatment and recovery programmes, supporting families and children through a variety of interventions, as well as training professionals to work to a higher standard than ever before, commissioning research and engaging in advocacy, particularly against the stigma that so unhelpfully attaches to its beneficiaries.
