Description
This training will focus on identifying types of self-help and community-based recovery support groups. We will explore the known efficacy behind many of the models while also recognizing the unique principles they follow as they build recovery support. Additionally, individuals who facilitate and/or have accessed recovery support groups themselves will speak about their experience, with the goal of helping attendees understand these resources and improve care teams’ knowledge of recovery support groups to better link individuals in recovery to appropriate sober social support networks.
Intended audience
Providers, nurses, social workers, psychologists, peer supports, other clinical staff, non-clinicians, and community members.
Objectives
At the end of this training, participants will have the knowledge necessary to:
- Define the components of self-help recovery programs.
- Summarize the evidence for self-help programs supporting short-term and longitudinal recovery through the development of sober social support networks.
- Name at least 3 examples of self-help programs that may be of benefit to patients with SUD.
