# Support from AVID

AVID provides a national support system for all visitors and for group co-ordinators through regular member calls, online resources including the members google group and this handbook, our annual co-ordinators conference and 1-to-1 support from AVID staff. AVID also offers training in specific areas of concern for visitors, drawing on the expertise of other visitor groups and other external specialist organisations.  

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us via <enquiries@aviddetention.org.uk> if you are looking for support or have a specific question.&#x20;
