AA Back to Basics Workshop

“Back to Basics – The Way It Was”

Journey through the Big Book’s 12 Steps in

Five WEEKLY One Hour Sessions

Join us in exploring a design for living through the 12 Steps.

A series of workshops based upon the work of AA pioneers in the 1940’s. Beginners were led through the 12 Steps – using those in the only book they had, i.e., the Big Book – in FOUR consecutive weeks. We do it in FIVE.  The pioneers found “The Solution” with all its promises (about 72 that we counted) and over 75% recovered back then.  Please pass this on; it may be a life changer.

Q: What may happen as a result of this workshop series? …. A Miracle?

A: “The great fact is just this, and nothing less: That we have had deep and effective spiritual experiences which have revolutionized our whole attitude toward life, toward our fellows, and toward God’s universe. The central fact of our lives today is the absolute certainty that our Creator has entered into our hearts in a way which is indeed miraculous. He has commenced to accomplish those things for us which we could never do by ourselves.” – Bill W. (B.B. p. 25, par.2)

New York Recovery Coach Training

New York Recovery Coach Training

 

Dear Provider or Recovery Organization:

 

The Recovery Center, in association with CCAR and NYS OASAS, is pleased to offer five-day Recovery Coaching training. The training will be held Monday, December 7 through Friday, December 11, 2015 from 9:00AM to 4:30 PM. The training is $200.00 (two hundred dollars) and includes the copy of the Recovery Coach Academy Manual each participant will utilize during the training.

 

This training is for individuals who are involved in the recovery initiation of others and/or who are in sustained recovery themselves and want to become a personal guide and mentor for people seeking or already in recovery.

 

Recovery Coaching is a peer-based recovery service that is non-clinical and designed to engage others beyond recovery initiation through stabilization and into recovery maintenance. Similar peer interventions in clinical settings have been shown to improve engagement and retention of people seeking services. It is also known that long-term treatment outcomes are improved by assertive linkages to community-based recovery supports such as Recovery Coaching.

 

Recovery Coaches:

  • Help to initiate and sustain an individual/family in their recovery from substance use disorder or addiction.
  • Promote recovery by removing barriers and obstacles to recovery
  • Serve as a personal guide and mentor for people seeking, or already in recovery

 

This is a five day training that will cover the Connecticut Center for Addiction Recovery (CCAR) model for peer specialist roles and responsibilities.

 

The dates and location are:

 

Dates: Monday, 12/7/15 through Friday,12/11/15.

 

Location:

Brooklyn Recovery Center at Restoration Plaza
20 New York Ave (between Herkimer and Fulton Streets)
