Recovery Together
A free peer education and recovery program for people who experience mental health, alcohol, or drug related issues.
Recovery Together is an evidence-based program under development by the NT Lived Experience Network for people who experience mental health, alcohol, or drug related issues.
Recovery Together will be delivered by peers – people with their own lived experience of related issues and recovery, who have been trained to deliver the program.
The NT Lived Experience Network has been funded by the NT Primary Health Network to develop and trial Recovery Together in the Greater Darwin region.
As part of the trial, a limited number of Recovery Together programs will be delivered between October 2022 and March 2023.
