Norfolk's Drug and Alchol System
What is the SULE Project?
The Substance Use Lived Experience (SULE) Project is a research initiative led by Peer Researchers with lived experience of recovery from substance misuse. The project aims to shape the future of Norfolk’s drug and alcohol support system by gathering the voices of:
- People who are currently or have previously accessed drug and alcohol services.
- People who use or have used substances but have not accessed formal support.
- Friends, families, and carers of those affected by substance use.
The goal is to identify what works well and what could be improved, ensuring that lived experiences influence decision-making at all levels.
How to Get Involved
If you have lived experience or insights to share, there are several ways to participate:
- One-to-One Conversations – Share your experiences confidentially in a format that suits you (in-person, online, or by phone).
- Small Group Discussions – Join a group to discuss issues and help develop a lived experience-led recovery community in Norfolk.
