A decade ago, Louise McColgan and Thea Ozenturk sat in a room to host the Isle of Man’s first ever SMART Recovery meeting, there was only one person in attendance.
10 years later, the SMART meetings have had over 1300 attendees in the last year.
Motiv8 now offers 3 SMART recovery groups per week, auricular acupuncture once a week and a Wellbeing Workshop every week too; it also has no waiting list and no limit to the support or time an individual needs.
The services provide lunches 3 days a week for those that they support and the groups have “simple rules” which include anonymity by making meetings confidential, nothing is discussed outside of the group setting.
Plans are afoot to provide SMART meetings for friends and family and one for those needing support with a gambling dependency.
Motiv8 aims to open the door to more people looking to explore their relationships with alcohol, drugs, gambling or gaming.
For more information on how to access support please call on freephone 0808 1624 627 or email contact@motiv8.im
