S.E.L.F. : A Compass for Recoverywww.sanctuaryweb.com/TheSanctuaryModel/THESANCTUARYMODELFOURPILLARS/Pillar3SharedLanguage.aspxThe road to recovery from trauma and adversity can be a long one for both individuals and organizations. When you are lost, it’s useful to have a compass and that’s what S.E.L.F. is – a compass on the road to healing. S.E.L.F. is an acronym that represents the four interactive key aspects of recovery from bad experiences. S.E.L.F. provides a nonlinear, cognitive behavioral therapeutic approach for facilitating movement – regardless of whether we are talking about individual clients, families, staff problems, or whole organizational dilemmas.

Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP)What is WRAP? www.cwp.nhs.uk/about-us/our-campaigns/person-centred-framework/recovery-toolbox/wellness-recovery-action-plan-wrap/Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP) was created by Mary Ellen Copeland, an author, educator and mental health recovery advocate in the USA. "WRAP is a tool that can aid an individual’s recovery and its underpinning principles support the recovery approach. WRAP is a way of monitoring wellness, times of being less well and times when experiences are uncomfortable and distressing. It also includes details of how an individual would like others to support them at these different times.” WRAP has 5 key principles: Hope: people who experience mental health difficulties get well, stay well and go on to meet their life dreams and goals. Personal responsibility: it's up to you, with the assistance of others, to take action and do what needs to be done to keep yourself well. Education: learning all you can about what you are experiencing so you can make good decisions about all aspects of you life. Self advocacy: effectively reaching out to others so that you can get what it is that you need, want and deserve to support your wellness and recovery. Support: while working toward your wellness is up to you, receiving support from others, and giving support to others, will help you feel better and enhance the quality of your life.

Dual Recovery Anonymousdraonline.org/Dual Recovery Anonymous™ is an independent, nonprofessional, Twelve Step, self-help membership organization for people with a dual diagnosis. Our goal is to help men and women who experience a dual illness. We are chemically dependent and we are also affected by an emotional or psychiatric illness. Both illnesses affect us in all areas of our lives; physically, psychologically, socially, and spiritually. Dual Recovery Anonymous™ is a Fellowship of men & women who meet to support each other in our common recovery from two No-Fault illnesses: an emotional or psychiatric illness and chemical dependency. Dual Recovery Anonymous™ is a 12 Step self-help program that is based on the principals of the Twelve Steps and the experiences of men and women in recovery with a dual diagnosis. The DRA program helps us recover from both our chemical dependency and our emotional or psychiatric illness by focusing on relapse prevention and actively improving the quality of our lives. In a community of mutual support, we learn to avoid the risks that lead back to alcohol and drug use as well as reducing the symptoms of our emotional or psychiatric illness. There are only two requirements for membership: A desire to stop using alcohol or other intoxicating drugs. A desire to manage our emotional or psychiatric illness in a healthy and constructive way. DRA members are encouraged to build a strong personal support network. That network may include support from chemical dependency or mental health treatment facilities, medical or social service professionals, and spiritual or religious assistance in addition to other 12 step or self-help groups. DRA has no opinion on the way the other groups address dual disorders or dual recovery. We do not offer advice regarding specific forms of treatment for the various types of emotional or psychiatric illnesses. However, we do share our personal experiences regarding the ways that we have learned to cope with our symptoms by applying the 12 steps in our daily lives.
