Description

The Recovery Month Series is comprised of four educational sessions for healthcare providers and substance use disorder (SUD) treatment programs seeking to better understand how we can support individuals and caregivers in recovery. Utilizing both panel and didactic discussions, we will explore the uniqueness of one’s recovery journey and experiences to better support those in recovery and those with lived experiences. We will also promote a variety of supports for individuals working to build their recovery capital and unpack the unique needs of caregivers and those parenting in recovery. Each session will be an hour-long didactic or panel discussion facilitated by a Grayken TTA educator and experts with lived experience in the specific topic area. 

This training will focus on defining recovery capital and how individuals can support those working to build it. Unique activities that may augment recovery support, including mindfulness, self-care, art and exercise support, will be reviewed. We will also explore recovery capital building strategies that care providers can use to engage with community partners. 

Intended audience

Medical providers, nurses, social workers, Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselors (LADC), Certified Alcohol/Drug Counselors (CADC), Community Health Workers (CHW), recovery coaches, counselors, Licensed Mental health Counselors (LMHC), and members of the community.
