Description
Though great work has been done to make more recovery pathways accessible, established pathways do not always embrace the full range of cultures, identities, and life experiences that people bring with them on their journey. The Infinite Pathways of Recovery concept does not start with a menu, but rather with an individual’s unique needs and strengths that they bring with them from their various experiences, identities, and cultures. We can help them build a tapestry of supports specific to them, creating a flexible, strong pathway that is as unique as they are and can grow and change with them as they progress throughout their recovery. This webinar will address how we can help individuals discover how their personal culture and strengths provide a foundation to build from to amplify their wellness, foster self-efficacy, and sustain their recovery wellness long-term.
Learning Objectives
  • Participants will be able to identify the myriad of activities and methods people use to support their recovery that we may not label as “recovery pathways.”
  • Participants will be able to describe the unique components people need to support recovery that reflect and embrace their diverse identities and assist people in fulfilling those needs in traditional and non-traditional ways.
  • Participants will be able to summarize how culture and community influence the creation of highly individualized tapestries of support that can carry individuals through stages of growth and recovery over their lifetime.
