Support to Recovery is a local Mental Health Charity that has provided a range of services to the people of Kirklees for over twenty years.
Commonly abbreviated to 'S2R', we have developed a reputation for diverse, inventive responses to the changing outlook of mental health service delivery.
By working in collaboration with people who are affected by emotional distress, we have developed a package of options and opportunities so individuals can design their own pathway to positive mental health, physical and spiritual well-being. Thus people are able to achieve personal outcomes, fulfilment, long term aspirations and recovery.
Support to Recovery recognises personal individuality, choice and abilities. By introducing different engaging elements and themes of involvement, individuals are in control of their participation, and can plan and set their own goals and outcomes.
