Based on the ideas of a St Mungo’s resident,
10x Better will enable you to establish and

Using Groundswell’s innovative Escape Plan
notebook, personal experience and group
discussions, you’ll be supported to explore
the evidence of what has worked for other
people and begin to relate those themes to
your own lives.
This session is ideal for anyone interested
in peer support or their own recovery

homelessness or not.
