Bringing Peer Support to Families

 

 

1. Hope is the Key-Resilience is not just an individual trait but is a relational virtue found in the family. We hold up hope for each other.
2. Partnership-Resilience is not about me telling you but about what we can do together. It's not about you vs me...it's about us and interdependence.
3. Recovery for all-Recovery is possible not simply for individuals but the entire family. Families and whole communities can recover. We all are resilient.
4. Empowerment-This is not about us telling you what you should do in your recovery. This is about families discovering and finding their own strength and power for change.
5. Own The Process-This is about the all family members taking ownership of their own recovery. Every member of the family working on sustaining wellness in a team approach.
6. Quality Of Life-It's not about the absence of challenges but substantial improvement and the family working on moving forward with their challenges towards a better life.
7. Dreams Matter-It's about he family getting in touch with their own mission and own hopes and dreams for a better life.
8. Responsibility-Recovery for families is based on each family member working on their own recovery and supporting all the other family members in their recovery journey
9. Strengths-Based-this is no longer about what is wrong with you but what is strong with you as a family. It's a wellness mindset and our strengths that provide the momentum to overcome the barriers and obstacles we face as a family. They point us towards those solutions we need to overcome what we are facing.
