Mobile Recovery Makers Program
Igniting Excitement and Motivation In Recovery
We bring hands on creative workshops to your organization introducing your participants to various cultural and industrial arts through experiential learning and skill-share artist workshops. We want to help participants find their new “thing”, something new they can engage in, be passionate about and proud of. The end goal is to empower participants to manage their mental health challenges and/or substance use disorder in a manner which allows them to achieve their goals, connect with others, find purpose and a positive sense of belonging in their community.
How It Works
Introductions
We can be booked on a weekly, biweekly or monthly basis. Once we're contacted we will schedule a time to come introduce ourselves and meet with your program coordinator and/or participants to get a feel for what they may like to try. We'll evaluate any special needs and go over your organizational policies/restrictions with administration. We'll then go back and plan a creative workshop we feel the majority of your participants would enjoy. This can be done via Zoom if needed or if you already have an idea that's great too! Once we get final approval and receive payment we will schedule the session.
Fun Time!
We arrive at your location between 1-2 hours early for set up. All we need upon arrival is an electricity source, a water source near by, the space and some table(s) big enough to accommodate your group. That's it! Most of our activities can be done inside on a table and don't generally get too messy. With some activities we take care of some steps pre-session to save time and prevent any unnecessary mess. If your facility has an outdoor area and weather permits we are very flexible within the bounds of most projects. In general a session lasts 1-3 hours depending on the project.
Recovery Discussion
During our workshops we invite and encourage a casual and relaxed open discussion about recovery. We share our lived experience and what has helped us in our own recovery journey. We are Registered Certified Peer Recovery Specialists (R-CPRS) and certified SMART Recovery Facilitators. We are also certified to facilitate Action Planning For Prevention and Recovery (APPR) meetings and more. We are peers who have been where your participants have been and bring hope that recovery is possible for anyone no matter what.
