Recovery Talks is a podcast from Changing Lives where people get together to share their thoughts, ideas and stories of recovery and what this means to them.
S4 Episode 12: Community Connections, with START Hartlepool
In our final episode of season four, host Andy chats to Gill and Billy from START, a partnership between Hartlepool Borough Council (HBC) and Foundations, delivering an integrated substance misuse treatment service in the region. START stands for 'Supporting Treatment and Recovery Together'. Gill and Billy talk us through the way the organisation works, and the benefits of integrating the service into the community - for example, by using community hubs and working closely with other local organisations.
⏰ Now that we've finished another great season, the Recovery Talks team is pausing production to take stock of all of our fantastic achievements and decide where to take the podcast next. We want to thank all of our listeners and guests for supporting us so far and look forward to telling you about our future plans very soon! ⏰
