Reconnect is a service offering support to adults and families in Edinburgh and the Lothians to help them improve wellbeing by increasing digital and social inclusion.
As part of this support, we help adults recovering from addiction to become digitally included. Increasing digital inclusion creates opportunities including finding recovery groups, discovering useful tools and apps, tracking housing applications, applying for Universal Credit, keeping in touch with family or rediscovering hobbies online.
We can help with:
- Using devices like smartphones, tablets, laptops or desktop computers
- Connecting to the internet
- Navigating the web and social media
- Completing everyday tasks online
- Connecting with the community, family and friends
- Accessing support networks
- Managing finances, paying bills and saving money online
- Reducing costs (energy providers, data plans, shopping, etc.)
- Finding opportunities for education and employment
- Feeling less isolated and having someone to talk to
Get support by calling our national digital support helpline at 0800 0 590 690 or by attending a digital group in your community. Find your nearest digital group on our website: https://peopleknowhow.org/reconnect/
