Dear Friends,
We hope that you are enjoying the magic and the excitement of this festive season. Your happiness and good news are the best presents you could give us this holiday season so please do not hesitate to get in touch with us!

Over the past year, it has been lovely to see familiar faces in our various events and workshops. It always warms our hearts to get an email, a call and or even a brief word of how you are doing.

For this coming new year, it is our wish to keep more in touch! So in 2013 we will not shy away from creating circumstances in which we can come together. We look forward to seeing you again at any of our events and workshops which we organise with you in mind.

Warmest thoughts and wishes for a wonderful holiday season from your PROMIS family.

People with addiction problems find themselves constantly stigmatised by society. None more so that celebrities. Each time celebrities seek help they appear to be scorned and ridiculed just at the time they need the most help. I recall the news last year that Robbie Williams had been admitted to a clinic in the US. I […]
