We’ve recently taken out a licence to become trained in and deliver SMART Recovery sessions. SMART Recovery helps participants decide whether they have a problem, builds up their motivation to change and offers a set of proven tools and techniques to support recovery.
Although there are AA and NA Groups locally, SMART Recovery is a programme that is not currently available in our area.
Alongside Bec, our Recovery Worker, Steve the Rough Sleeper Worker for DRP will be delivering the sessions. A service user with lived experience who is passionate about SMART Recovery and how it helped her is also doing the delivery training so she can support the sessions.
We’re excited to be able to offer this different approach to recovery as not all programmes will work for everyone. Everyone’s recovery journey is unique to them.
