Facilitator Training event

Our colleagues in the USA have kindly agreed to run their 'distance learning programme' to help SMART Recovery UK keep up the momentum whilst our own training capacity is expanded. The sessions will run across five consecutive Sunday evenings from August 1st.  Existing Facilitators are strongly encouraged to do the course and places will also be available to new Facilitators.

Please see the Training Page.

What is SMART Recovery

Ourpurpose is to help individuals seeking abstinence from addictive behaviours to gain independence, achieve recovery and lead meaningful and satisfying lives. Theapproach is secular and science based; using motivational, behavioral and cognitive methods. We view substance/activity dependence as a dysfunctional habit, while recognising that it is possible that certain people have a predisposition towards addictive behaviour.

Our self empowering, 4-point recovery programme consists of:

1. Enhancing and Maintaining Motivation to Abstain

2. Coping with Urges

3. Problem Solving (Managing thoughts, feelings and behaviours)

4. Lifestyle Balance (Balancing momentary and enduring satisfactions)
