A Partners in Recovery worker can meet with you in a place where you feel comfortable, to discuss the program.
Partners in Recovery is managed by South Eastern Sydney Medicare Local, delivered by local organisations and funded by the Australian Government.South Eastern Medicare Local acknowledges the traditional owners of the land on which we work and pays respect to the Aboriginal Elders past and present.
ONCE REFERRED TO THE PROGRAM, PARTNERS IN RECOVERY STAFF, CALLED SUPPORT FACILITATORS, CAN:
• Work along side you as you plan your personal recovery
• Connect you to services and support that you want, and
• Assist in coordinating services and supports so they are working together to support you
Support Facilitators also build strong partnerships in the community that make it easier and better for you to access what you want.

Dealing with my social and emotional well-being has been
through yarning and making peace with myself.
This has helped me to heal.
My struggles have been of my own but they are also of my family and my community too. Working
through my grief and hardship has helped me and helped my people.
