​
Empathic Recovery Care forms the foundation of how we work with you. We begin by deeply listening and opening our hearts to you, building trust and empathy on the foundation of our shared experiences. Tell us your story, where you are at in life. Tell us about your struggles, successes and most importantly your dreams, your aspirations and what you would like to accomplish now, a year from now and beyond. You will build an empowering vision statement for your life that supports the uniquely personal values and beliefs that define what recovery really means to you.
​
Together, we will create a blueprint for your recovery that:
-
Is directed by you, identifies and honors your values, addresses your needs, desires and what you want to accomplish both short term and long term on your terms. We will never tell you what you must do. We will champion you to bring out your best in what ever you choose to do.
​
-
Identifies and initiates the linkages to community-based services and resources such as housing, medical care, counseling, education, vocational training and social, spiritual or leisure activities that help you sustain and strengthen your recovery over time.
​
-
Motivates you to be accountable to the commitments you have made, building trust in yourself, and the trust of others in you.
Throughout this process we will help you assess the many pathways to recovery available to you by helping you raise your awareness of the Differing Scopes, Types, Contexts and Frameworks that you might consider as part of your overall plan.
