Emerging Futures works with adults affected by drug and alcohol addiction, offering housing and community-based support.
We believe that no one should suffer the stigma associated with addiction, and that everyone seeking support should feel valued and respected.
We provide homes for people to connect with others and make the necessary changes to move towards independent, healthy living. Our behaviour change services provide a confidential space to share experiences, and offer practical support to those who want to change. The Emerging Futures accredited coach training develops the skills of our volunteers, motivating people to give back and reconnect with their community.
