Liber8 Lanarkshire is a grassroots organisation delivering a range of services throughout Lanarkshire. Our initial work was to provide a proactive and reactive approach to tackling alcohol and substance use problems; however, this has expanded into providing a diverse range of community-based services. We provide services to individuals; young people; specific groups; and families. We offer services with particular focus, some aimed at improving emotional and mental health; others aim to reduce the harmful effects of alcohol and drugs and promote recovery while others focus on education and prevention and the improvement of health and wellbeing. Whatever the target population, Liber8 offers a varied and individualistic service, tailored to the individual, led by people who use our services, their identified needs and aspirations.
