In English
Toimiva ry is a civil society organisation and a community of experts in the field of addiction work.
We support people who suffer from addictions, such as alcohol or drug addiction, food addiction and sex and porn addiction, including their loved ones, friends and family.
We offer online support mainly by organising professionally guided peer support groups and by providing self-help materials. We also raise awareness about addictions and provide training for professionals and the general public.
We actively search for new tools and methods for recovery in order to help those who suffer from addictions. We do this by applying for grants and seeking other financial solutions. The Funding Centre for Social Welfare and Health Organisations (STEA) and the European Social Fund Plus (ESR+) are currently our main contributors.
Our work is based on a compassionate and trauma-informed approach, which means that we recognize that trauma can be a major root cause behind addictions and that we strive to create a safe and supportive environment in which to recover.
