Shared work, stronger support.
Al-Hurraya works alongside treatment, public-service and community partners to make support more culturally responsive, accessible and trusted.
Support for positive change around drugs and alcohol
Nottingham Recovery Network supports people who want to make positive changes to their relationship with drugs and/or alcohol. The service also offers understanding and guidance to families and carers who are supporting a loved one through substance use challenges.
Culturally specific support across the recovery pathway
Al-Hurraya employs staff who are based across various teams within Nottingham Recovery Network. These staff members offer culturally specific support within the Triage, Drug and Psychosocial teams. This partnership allows a more culturally appropriate substance misuse service by:
Cultural Competency
Al-Hurraya staff bring a deep understanding of the cultural nuances and sensitivities of the communities they serve. This cultural competency helps them tailor their support to be more effective and respectful.
Language Proficiency
Being fluent in the languages commonly spoken within the community allows Al-Hurraya staff to bridge communication gaps, ensuring individuals feel more comfortable discussing their substance misuse issues.
Customised Treatment Plans
Staff can design substance misuse treatment plans that align with the cultural beliefs, traditions and values of clients. This can increase the likelihood of engagement and success in treatment.
Community Connections
Al-Hurraya staff often have strong ties within their cultural communities. This enables them to draw on community resources and support networks to enhance the recovery process.
Personal guidance through complex challenges
Changing Futures is a local partnership designed to help adults dealing with severe and overlapping challenges such as homelessness, drug or alcohol use, mental health problems, domestic abuse and the criminal justice system.
We have dedicated specialist Navigators who support beneficiaries as their personal guides and allies. Our workers provide assistance to navigate complex systems for housing, health and legal support.
