SMART Recovery International’s first Global Survey is now live!
SMART Recovery is working with a team of researchers who are keen to understand more about who attends groups, how people feel about attending, the goals they set themselves and the ways that SMART Recovery may or may not be helpful.
The study involves a one-off survey that should only take around 30 minutes to complete.
If you might be interested in sharing your experience, this flyer gives a bit more info and a link to the survey. Have a look, see what you think and feel free to contact the researchers with any questions you might have.

SMART Recovery is now on Reddit
The US SMART Recovery website has created an online community using Reddit – https://www.smartrecovery.org/a-reddit-community-for-smarties/ Participants can remain anonymous and still post questions or support to other SMARTies. This Reddit page has been available for a number of numbers but will be used considerably more going forward now that SMART Recovery US Forum is no longer available.
The Carers’ Information Session at South Tyneside Adult Recovery Service
A fabulous afternoon was had by all at The Carers’ Information Session at South Tyneside Adult Recovery Service (Humankind) on Wednesday. It was fantastic for SMART Community Coordinator, Jeni Langley to have the opportunity to explain more about the SMART Family & Friends Programme and help to christen the brand new meeting space.
