Topic: Recovery Month Series
This training will focus on identifying types of self-help and community-based recovery support groups. We will explore the known efficacy behind many of the models while also recognizing the unique principles they follow as they build recovery support. Additionally, individuals who facilitate and/or have accessed recovery support groups themselves will speak about their experience, with the goal of helping attendees understand these resources and improve care teams’ knowledge of recovery support groups to better link individuals in recovery to appropriate sober social support networks.
