Health & Wellness

Seeking Solutions in Recovery (All Addictions)

Seeking Solutions in Recovery is a solution-focused gathering for people addressing any addiction. Conversations use an ask it basket format and highlight a different topic each week while helping participants build social skills. Discussions draw on the eight dimensions of wellness, including caring for the body with movement, nutrition, and rest; managing emotions and stress with healthy coping; fostering strong, supportive relationships; expanding knowledge through ongoing learning; finding purpose and satisfaction in work; nurturing meaning and a sense of purpose; respecting and protecting the environment; and handling money responsibly to support stability. Giving attention to all eight areas encourages a holistic, balanced approach to health and happiness.
