50 Faces of Coolmine

Recovery (like addiction) does not just impact the individual. Every other person in their life is impacted, from family, friends, work and their local community.

50 Faces of Coolmine is a collection of some of the people whose lives have been touched by Coolmine’s impact. Together these individuals tell a story of recovery in Ireland, and of how Coolmine provides hope and support to those who are losing their way to addiction. This collection of stories provides the real picture of how recovery restores hope.
