What to expect at Recovery Together
Recovery Together was developed by the NT Lived Experience Network. We are local people with our own experience of mental health, alcohol, drug and related issues and have been empowered to become the leaders in our own recoveries.
Recovery Together programs are run by peers – people with lived experience, who have been trained to deliver the program.
Recovery Together groups are set up so that everyone feels safe. It is important to us that you feel comfortable to participate in a way that suits your needs. Sessions are delivered at a gentle pace and there are lots regular breaks (with catering provided).
If you attend Recovery Together, you are not required to share any parts of your story that you do not feel comfortable to. Instead, you will be supported to explore evidence-based approaches that promote your personal healing and recovery.
Recovery Together also incorporates optional activities to creatively explore recovery and what’s important to you.
Topics in Recovery Together include:
- Understanding mental health, distress, substance misuse & the relationship between them
- An exploration of recovery and ways to support your own recovery
- Identifying your triggers and developing strategies to respond
- An exploration of values – what is important to you, now and into the future
- Understanding the Stages of Change and how to work toward lasting change
- How to effectively communicate your needs and rights
- How to respond to stigma and discrimination
- How to ‘navigate the system’ and find the support you need when you need it
