Medical disclaimer

What Mwanga Strides is

Mwanga Strides is a peer-support community with education and personal-progress tools, such as streaks, goals, check-ins and a journal. It is run by people who care, not by a medical provider.

What it is not

• It does not give medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.
• It does not replace a doctor, psychiatrist, therapist, counsellor or rehabilitation programme.
• It is not an emergency service. If you or someone else is in danger, call your local emergency number immediately.
• It does not promise that you will recover, stay free of any substance or behaviour, or reach any result. Recovery is different for everyone.

Stopping suddenly can be dangerous
