Meet Linda ~ Our Founder ❤️🏆🙏

“Linda has 25 years’ experience of supporting an addicted son. For 18 of those years, she was flying solo, initially not understanding what she was dealing with. She researched and educated herself about addiction but recognised she needed support as her mental health was being affected. In July 2013 she found Burton Addiction Centres Family Group, and this is where her recovery started as she had become addicted to her addicted son. Here she learned about enabling, co-dependency, boundaries, the importance of her self-care, and how to support her addicted son in the right way. Her passion to help others in her situation was born from her lived experience and lack of community support for families.

She has experience of working in a corporate environment as a people manager, creating detailed, how to, procedures at ISO standards, she then moved into business analysis, systems trainer, and on to project management.

After leaving her corporate life she opened a hair and beauty business with her daughter and worked there for over 10 years before deciding it was time to find her passion – supporting and educating people who have a loved one in addiction.“
