Announcing the second season of the Stories of Recovery podcast!

Our podcast shines a light on residents at Windana who share their unique stories, lived experience and insights on dependence and recovery.

Our second season introduces you to Nicholas, Adam, Marie and others on their journeys of recovery. No two stories are the same but each is a moving portrait of resilience and hope.

Windana’s Therapeutic Communities support people from all walks of life, where residents drive the recovery of themselves and each other. A Therapeutic Community gives its residents the space and structure to heal emotionally and learn healthier ways to live, as you can hear in these residents’ stories.

We’ll be releasing a new episode each week for the next 8 weeks.
