Konnect - Ketamine Support

What is KONNECT?

Konnect is Wirral Ways’ peer-led support service designed for young adults (+18) who are using ketamine and want to regain control of their life. Whether you’ve been using ketamine for around a year, are struggling with stress, trauma, anxiety, or depression, or just feel lost and disconnected, Konnect is here to help.

Through safe, non-judgmental spaces, both online and in-person, Konnect provides guidance, support, and practical tools to help you reduce or stop ketamine use, protect your health, and find purpose again.

We focus on your wellbeing, recovery, and mental health, helping you reconnect with yourself and your life.

What Makes KONNECT Different?

• Zero Pressure Approach: We respect your pace. You choose how and when to engage.

• Flexible Access: Support is available online via WhatsApp and IG, or in-person at Wirral’s Market Street Hub.

• Holistic Recovery: We address not just ketamine use but also mental health, trauma, and wellbeing, helping you develop coping strategies and rebuild purpose.

• Safe and Inclusive: Konnect is a non-judgmental, confidential service for everyone, including neurodiverse individuals and those with behavioral or mental health challenges.

• Focus on Physical Health: Guidance on preventing bladder and other physical complications linked to ketamine use.
