What is Strong Roots?
Strong Roots is a peer-led men's group run by Borders in Recovery. It brings together men at different stages of their recovery journey in a relaxed, non-judgemental environment where they can talk openly, support one another and build meaningful connections.
The group is facilitated by people with lived experience of recovery, which means everyone in the room understands what it feels like to face the challenges of addiction and rebuilding life. That shared understanding creates a unique sense of trust and belonging.
Whether you're newly in recovery or have been on your journey for years, Strong Roots offers a consistent, welcoming space to show up as you are.
