ANA consider after care services as an integral part of treatment and not a bolt on addition. Specific after care groups are offered by ANA on a continuous weekly basis.

After Care addresses issues and supports clients in the following ways:

• Group work for as long as is required
• Social events organised by ex-peers
• Attendance at affirmation groups, peer graduations and sporting events
• Advice on on-going counselling, where required
• Advice on couple and family counselling
• The ANA Client advice service, staffed by professionals from each ANA department, we offer advice on housing, benefits, adult education, work placement, equality and diversity, voluntary work and banking and finance
• Use of ANA facilities for internet research, C.V. / application letter compilation
• Review of plans and goals, successes, difficulties, goal review

ANA services are available for no charge to all ex clients who have graduated our programme and support and guidance is provided in areas of need. These generally include:

• Housing, Education, Employment, the Ex-Peers Scheme and the Guest Speaker Scheme
