Roads to Recovery, which is into its fourth year, intends to increase public awareness of what is available in our community, to make living in our community easier, safer, and/or more worthwhile.
The audience target is people of all ages. The program attempts to cover as many groups as possible that are able to help people in our community through their issues. We act as a conduit, only, to get information to people who (possibly) want to take that huge first step to recovery, for whatever the reason.
We talk about these issues in an informal, chatty manner, hoping that we de-mystify them, and inform the audience of relevant contacts to get help towards recovery. We have heard of a number of local people taking note of information they have learnt from the program, and taking that important first step to recovery.
The program goes to air on a weekly basis, when guests mainly drive the format, and the program has a strong focus about making it their program.
Participants have included
- Barwon Health, including their drug treatment services, mental health and chemical dependency unit.
- All services and programs of Barwon Youth
- The Victorian Salvation Army Network Services
- Centre Against Sexual Assault (CASA), Broken Rites , ASCA, and other such agencies
