Project Ahryzen

Project Ahryzen (2017-2020) 

“Ahryzen” describes a path of self-discovery, a journey of awakening from the struggle of addiction to creating new beginnings through the application of Transformative Recovery.

​

In 2017 BAC-IN was awarded a two year grant by Lankelly Chase to deliver ground-breaking Project Ahryzen in partnership with Sheffield Hallam University.  Project Ahryzen action research aims to explore through the authentic voice of lived experience the lives of BAC-IN peers, hidden experiences of disadvantage and the development of a successful model for supporting Black, Asian and Minoritised Communities, facing multiple disadvantage.

​

A partnership of ‘diverse equals’ with different skills, resources and experiences;

​

BAC-IN

  • Lived experience of addiction, recovery and multiple disadvantage

  • Cultural competence/expertise & culturally responsive recovery solutions

Lankelly Chase

  • Learning and insights into severe and multiple disadvantage 

Sheffield Hallam University - CRESR 

  • Research and evaluation experience with those people who are often marginalised in research

 

Using collective insight gathered by BAC-IN friends and peers, the goal is to establish and learn from a ‘new paradigm’ for services for Black, Asian and Minoritised  people facing multiple disadvantage at individual, family and community level.

Supporting BAME Communities facing multiple disadvantage

TNCLF Reaching communities – Project Make It Happen 
Community Fund LOGO to use 2019.png

Project Make It Happen will provide intensive recovery-focused support for people with multiple support needs. We will be responding to the impact of COVID-19 on the lives of people in local disadvantaged communities and the consequent increase in substance misuse and mental health problems. In addition, we will partner with recently developed new Black, Asian and Minoritised  led partnerships. We plan to return to a focus on more intensive, one to one and face to face support as we emerge from COVID-19 and lockdown restrictions, working more intensively with a smaller caseload of people in the greatest need to help them achieve sustainable recovery and maximise the impact of our work on individual lives and local communities.
