Mutual Aid is a set of community groups arranged to act as a support network for those going through recovery. They act as peer mentor style support with attendees at all stages of their recovery acting as a support network for each other. The benefit of this is that those further along in their recovery journeys can offer advice to those who are new to recovery as well as provide hope for sustained recovery.
Locally there are a range of mutual aid groups (see schedule in table below) provided by a range of organisations including the MAP groups provided by With You in Cornwall:
