Recovery Wellness Programme
Facilitator Training for Certified Coaches
The Recovery Wellness Programme is a 21-day peer support, adult education coaching programme that has been developed to holistically address recovery by concentrating on the spirit, body and mind. The programme was developed based on the premise that there are Multiple Pathways to Recovery, and our role as coaches is to aid and assist individuals in developing their personal recovery that best suits their lives. The programme is a professionally facilitated adult education, peer support and recovery coaching group. Although there might be elements of other mutual-aid groups within the programme, it is not a 12-step programme.
The facilitator’s role is to act as an accountability partner, and hold the container for the individuals and the group to explore their experiences, beliefs and feelings around the issues that are introduced to within the context of the learning. The programme has a structure and content, but this is not rigidly adhered to due to the dynamic nature of the container and the needs and requirements of the clients on any given day. So the clients are given space to bring personal issues and situations to the group, whether or not they match the content of the day/week.
The Foundation Clinic’s group takes place five days a week, and the sessions are two hours, as we feel that the consistency of the daily group brings reassurance, support and assistance to our clients during the different stages of their recovery. However, the group does not have to be offered daily, and can be run two or three times a week, depending on the size and needs of your group.
The manual that accompanies the programme, and is given to the clients, has a theoretical element, which is covered during the sessions, but the exercises and activities are undertaken on an independent, self-study basis. The clients are invited to complete the work, but this is not a requirement, as the individual is supported in their own choices as they develop personal #RecoveryCapital. Often these can be more deeply explored in individual sessions with the clients if this is offered as part of their programme, or at an additional fee.
