Book Description
Since the first printing of Pathways to Recovery, people immediately worked to start groups with little guidance on how to do it. Some were held in formal settings while others were conducted with just two or three people in someone's living room. In most, participants found themselves completing the exercises, discussing the quotations or even arguing about whether certain topics should be included in one chapter or another! With so many formats emerging, determining how to create a facilitator's guide was quite a challenge. The current guide is designed to be easy to navigate and use, even for first-time group facilitators. Modules include the following: *An overview and goals for the topic *Recommended readings, materials and handouts *Specific tips for facilitators and notes to guide each session *Detailed agendas with suggested activities *The guide gives group leaders all the information needed to facilitate a Pathways to Recovery group, including tips on how to adapt the sessions to meet specific needs. While some groups have taken over a year to cover all the material in the workbook, still others have found it possible to cover one chapter a week. In whatever way you decide to conduct your local group, the material found in this guide will be helpful to you.

A Woman's Way through the Twelve Steps
Author: Stephanie Convington
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 163634075X
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
This guide to the Twelve Steps from Dr. Stephanie S. Covington, a pioneer in the field of women’s issues, addiction, and recovery, preserves the spirit of the Alcoholics Anonymous program with a focus on healing language with women’s needs in mind. Published in 1994, A Woman's Way through the Twelve Steps has long been a unique resource that helps women find their own paths in recovery—paths shaped by the way women experience not only addiction and recovery, but also relationships, self, sexuality, spirituality, and everyday life. Now, stories from five new voices expand the perspective of this recovery classic. Over the past thirty years, what it means to identify as a woman in recovery has broadened to include transgender, nonbinary, and other gender-diverse people. This new edition includes updated, inclusive language to be more trauma-sensitive and welcoming to all women. This compilation of diverse voices and wisdom from real people illuminates how women understand the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and offers inspiring stories of how they travel through the Steps and discover what works for them. The book can be used alone or as a companion to AA’s Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions. By identifying and addressing the special issues that recovery presents for women, this book empowers women to take ownership of their own journeys and to grow and flourish in recovery.

The Trail Is the Thing
Author: Lori Davidson
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781475042139
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 416
Book Description
Since the first printing of Pathways to Recovery: A Strengths Recovery Self-Help Workbook, readers have asked, "Are you going to revise the book?" What quickly became evident was not more information or another class but a way of incorporating the material into one's daily life. Yes, it's helpful to attend classes and complete recovery tools, but if the material isn't used to help "get a live," then all the tools in the world won't change a thing...It seemed clear there should be a next step in the journey... The idea for this book came as one of those stray thoughts that occur in life-an 'aha' moment that begins to pop into your head and never leaves. The Trail is the Thing is the result of almost two years of work from four authors and more than twenty individuals who provided their ideas, edits and support to bring readers of Pathways to Recovery a new tool. This book is about finding the things in life that give passion, purpose and meaning. It's about learning and growing and reclaiming only those parts of one's past that are needed in order to move on. It's about taking each day as it comes, living and appreciating this moment, for we can't change the past and we sure can't predict the future... Each of the daily reflections include a quotation from the original Pathways text, a short reflection and "Just for Today" which gives readers suggested activities, questions or thoughts to think about for that day.

Implementing Evidence-Based Practice in Healthcare
Author: Gill Harvey
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136768157
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
The successful implementation of evidence into practice is dependent on aligning the available evidence to the particular context through the active ingredient of facilitation. Designed to support the widely recognised PARIHS framework, which works as a guide to plan, action and evaluate the implementation of evidence into practice, this book provides a very practical ‘how-to’ guide for facilitating the whole process. This text discusses: undertaking an initial diagnosis of the context and reaching a consensus on the evidence to be implemented; how to link the research evidence with clinical and patients’ experience and local information in the form of audit data or patient and staff feedback; the range of diagnostic, consensus building and stakeholder consultation methods that can be helpful; a description of facilitator roles and facilitation methods, tools and techniques; some of theories that underpin the PARIHS framework and how these have been integrated to inform a revised version of PARIHS Including internationally-sourced case study examples to illustrate how the facilitation role and facilitation skills have been applied in a range of different health care settings, this is the ideal text for those interested in leading or facilitating evidence based implementation projects, from the planning stage through to evaluation.

Leading Peer Support and Self-Help Groups: A Pocket Resource for Peer Specialists and Support Group Facilitators
Author: Charles Drebing
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1329956923
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
There were more visits to peer support/self-help groups last year, than there were visits to the offices of mental health professionals. Peer support groups have exploded in popularity, as the public and the healthcare community recognize that they provide an effective complement to formal care, and improve the chance that many participants will have better healthcare outcomes. Few peer support/self-help group leaders have more than minimal training in how to lead a group successfully. This is unfortunate, as leading a self-help group is often challenging. This pocket resource is designed to provide easy access to key information and strategies to help Peer Specialists and other lay group leaders develop and expand their group facilitation skills so they can lead healthy thriving peer support groups.
