Living Well Programme
This programme runs 5 days a week at 5-6.30pm. We recommend a commitment of 6-12 weeks.
Alongside individual therapy and/or EMDR, the focus of this programme is to strengthen your recovery process so you:
- feel increasingly confident and in better esteem
- enjoy the discipline of good self-care and benefit from the motivation that follows
- be better able to effectively communicate with humility and curiosity
- commit to your recovery plan
- develop healthier relationships both professionally and personally
- reclaim responsibility for your life
The groups are run alternately by Mandy Saligari, Mu’Dita Farrell and Marie-Claire Prust.
Both Mandy and Mu’Dita have over two decades of experience of treating addiction and will carefully adapt each week to meet individual need, always maintaining keen attention on the core characteristics of addiction, the impact of addiction as a family condition, relapse prevention, promotion of the discipline of self-care, healthy handling of shame and anger, strengthening identity and fostering self-worth.
The main addictions we work successfully with are drugs and alcohol, eating disorders, codependency and gambling. We also work with breakdowns in relationships, intimacy difficulties and love addiction/avoidance.
The programme is adaptable to the needs of those attending so that it is always relevant. The first step is assessment, and care pathways are reviewed and updated each week.
Attendance to the fellowships is recommended for those in addiction recovery, and we encourage our clients to undertake individual, couple, family therapy or EMDR (as appropriate) alongside the group programme to make the most of this transformative opportunity. This can be with a therapist of their choice or one recommended by Charter. We also provide advice on therapy dedicated to family members and partners.
AFTERCARE
Aftercare is a group that clients on the Living Well Programme will graduate onto after having done sufficient work on their recovery. It is a popular, long term evening support group that focuses on the 12-step structure, answering any questions, providing inspiring introductions and clarifying any concerns.
