Stories of Hope & Science
In spring 2025, we launched 'Stories of Hope Online' - our series of real-life recovery-story webinars. These events are provided by recoverees for individuals on their own healing journeys - and are intended to provide hope, reassurance and inspiration.
From autumn 2025, we will be inviting expert speakers to present at certain sessions of this series - and welcome practitioners to attend (along with individuals).
These special-edition webinars, 'Stories of Hope & Science', will feature conversations with mind-body experts and trailblazers as well as Q&A with our panel of recoverees.
