£50,000 grant awarded to Motiv8

Thu, 10 Feb 2022

An in-demand charity’s quest to support those in need in a post-Covid world is to gather significant momentum, thanks to the Manx Lottery Trust.

Motiv8, which offers support and assistance to people who have addictive behaviours - or are concerned about someone they care about with similar problems - has received a grant of £50,000 which will enable them to train up existing members of the team to become accredited CBT therapists.

Motiv8 recently became an accredited training centre which means it can also offer those with demonstrable recovery from addictive behaviours an opportunity to train as peer mentors. After completing the course run by Motiv8 the trained peer mentors can go on to support others in the early stages of recovery.
