Description
The journey to recovery is far from linear and everyone, from the people looking to begin their journey to those looking to support someone in recovery, struggles with the question of where to start and what it means to be in recovery. This lack of understanding impacts individuals seeking recovery as it affects the public and medical community that produce the infrastructures meant to support and help individuals along their path in recovery. This workshop will delve into how to build and sustain recovery. Additionally, discussions will include improvement in functioning, psychological well-being and quality of life.
