SERIES 1: UNDERSTANDING OURSELVES
The experience of distress and /or addiction is overwhelming and it helps our recovery if we can begin to understand it in a positive way. These four foundation workshops focus on distress,addiction and recovery. We explore our own experiences of distress and/or addiction and recovery, how others respond, and how we can retell our own story to ourselves in ways that will enhance our recovery and wellbeing.
The experience of distress can make us feel devalued and it helps our recovery if we find the understanding and tools to empower ourselves. This series focuses on the feelings and circumstances that influence our personal power. We explore ways we can reduce self-stigma as well as claim our right to make our own decisions and be treated fairly.
Leading our recovery often means we need to look for new ways to manage the challenges in our day to day lives. This series focuses on some of these challenges. We explore ways we can respond to stress, understand trauma and develop a lifestyle that enhance our recovery and wellbeing.
Leading our recovery often means we need to re-connect with the world as valued and contributing human beings. This series focuses on the main routes to community connection. We explore our personal relationships as well as ways to make progress with the practical challenges we may face with our income, housing and work.
The experience of distress and recovery is often defined by our place in the world in terms of our culture, age or gender. This series focuses these issues for Maori, men and young people. We explore what it means to have these unique identities and ways we can affirm ourselves within them.
