Living Well Programme
The programme takes place every weekday 5pm-6.30pm and includes a Vertebrae/12-Step group on Friday 3pm-4pm. For a recommended 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 and your fellowship
- develop healthier relationships both professionally and personally
- reclaim responsibility for your life
The Monday – Friday groups are led by Mandy Saligari, Mu’Dita Farrell, and James Burke. James also facilitates the Vertebrae/12-step fellowship group on Fridays, answering any questions, providing inspiring introductions and clarifying any concerns.
Mandy, Mu’Dita and James have over three decades of experience of treating addiction and will carefully adapt each week to meet individual need. They are 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, intimacy difficulties and love addiction, eating disorders (including food planning), codependency and gambling.
We have also have significant success treating depressive disorders and persistent low mood, anxiety, relationship breakdown, stress and burnout.
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 regularly reviewed and updated.
Attendance at 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 either at Charter or independently. We also provide 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.
