SAOL PROJECT ARE RECRUITING BRIO COORDINATOR. BRIO IS A DEPARTMENT OF
JUSTICE FUNDED PROGRAMME WHICH WORKS WITH WOMEN IMPACTED BY ADDICTION

WHAT? BRIO- BUILDING RECOVERY INWARDS AND OUTWARDS.
BRIO is a Probation Service through the Department of Justice funded
programme within SAOL that works with women who have addiction and
criminality as part of their story. BRIO builds recovery inwards and
outwards: inner healing reinforced by the generosity of outward
giving. The Participants on the BRIO Programme are enabled to become
Peer Workers to use their expertise, skills and life experience for
the positive development of other Women, through Peer partnered
training and Peer Work. BRIO?s ?wounded healers? are women who
are either drug free, stable or working on their stability; they are
also women who have a relationship with the Probation Service and are
either currently on probation (or recently completed it), have lately
left prison or are in danger of going to (or returning to) prison
soon.
