Success story
Steve, a learner with experience of addiction shared:
“I tried alcohol rehabs, but they didn’t work for me, in the end I got myself clean and I wanted to help others to do the same. I thought I had enough knowledge to help other people, but I soon realised that lived experience wasn’t enough and that I needed qualifications to help me teach.
That’s where I found Learning Curve Group. Their courses gave me the qualifications I needed to help people. I learnt all about mental health and counselling and the more I discovered the more I wanted to know. Their courses kept me focused through the lockdown and have been fantastic. And now I run my own SMART recovery course, working with people like myself to help change lives.”
