Training
There are lots of ways you can learn and develop with Harbour,
from building your knowledge and confidence around drug and alcohol use, to developing practical skills that can help you support people with greater understanding and compassion. Whether you’re looking to strengthen your professional practice, support your community, or learn more about working with people affected by drug and alcohol use, our training offers accessible, shame-sensitive learning for individuals and organisations across the South West and beyond.
Our mission is to deliver support to individuals affected by substance use, creating safe spaces for healing, recovery and connection to thrive.
We recognise that substance use is a global issue shaped by trauma, inequality, and systemic factors, and we work to challenge stigma and reduce harm as both an independent charity and in collaboration with partners.
OUR MISSION
Our Vision
We envision a world where people who use drugs and alcohol are treated with dignity, not shame; where stigma is replaced with understanding; and where everyone has access to the compassionate support they need to heal, thrive, and make empowered choices.
Within our organisation, we strive to build a strong, collaborative team that upholds these values in our work, our partnerships, and how we care for one another. We strive to build a culture where every staff member feels a sense of belonging, support, and shared purpose.
