Nehemiah - Graduates

Arbour Graduates can continue to enjoy the support and community of the Arbour while going on to Victory Lodge - Nehemiah's Move-on-Home. Victory Lodge provides a safe, positive environment to be used as a spring board for each man to realise his own personal goals and dreams.

To Work - For some of our graduates work is an entirely new concept. We have a vocational training business to help men develop work ethic and learn new skills while they are in the programme. They then have the opportunity to join our vocational Team full time. For others we will support them going into education or other training.

To Grow - Our programme is only the beginning of a new life. Victory Lodge is our Move-On home for graduates, a safe supportive community where men can support each other as they build new lives. All our graduates can benefit from a weekly support group helping them to realise their full potential.

To Integrate - Building new friendships and support networks is crucial. While they are in the programme residents start to attend support groups. We encourage all our residents to develop new, positive relationships that will sustain them in their recovery.

The Result:

After five years 75% of our graduates will still be clean.

50% of The Arbour's care team are graduates of our programme, mentoring others in the New Life they themselves have embraced.
