Recovery Advent Day 17

ALISS (A Local Information System for Scotland)

ALISS is a national digital programme enabling people and professionals to find and share information on health and wellbeing resources, services, groups, and support in their local communities and online.

For recovery communities, it is an essential piece of digital infrastructure. It ensures that when someone searches for “support near me,” your group appears.

Why Use ALISS? It offers two distinct benefits for your organisation:

  1. Get Found (Visibility): Registering allows people in your local area to discover your group easily. It also makes you visible to professionals (like Link Workers and GPs) who use ALISS to signpost patients to community support.

  2. Find Help (Holistic Support): Recovery is rarely just about substance use. People attending your group may need help with housing, mental health, or food security. You can use ALISS to find trusted services in your area to support your members with these wider needs.

How to Register: Adding your service is free and straightforward. You can register your group directly via their website.

Need a Hand? Digital admin isn’t for everyone. If you need support getting your group registered or navigating the system, the SRC team is here to help.

Contact our Learning team, and we can walk you through the process to ensure your group is visible to those who need it.
