Recovery Groups

Recovery requires active and positive involvement by you which includes choice, responsibility, control and empowerment. This is done through a therapeutic climate where caring, inclusive relationships promote meaningful change in service users’ lives. Pathways SouthWest offers transport to aid in the motivation to attend activities.

For most activities we provide a pick up and drop off service so transport is never an issue.
