Training: Standing on the Same Step (Stages of Recovery)

Course Description

 Standing on the Same Step:  Meeting consumers where they are and helping them move ahead looks at relapse as a process of two or more illnesses that may interact to short circuit recovery.  Participants will examine the signs of relapse and proactive ways to address these signs.  The importance of squeezing the joy from recovery as a bulwark against relapse will be explored.   We will discuss treatment strategies such as planning each day, completing contingency cards, writing gratitude lists, challenging cognitive distortions, and applying Twelve Step slogans to mental illness and substance abuse.
