UPDATE: Due to COVID lockdown our face to face SMART groups are temporarily suspended. Clients can access any of the online groups such as our Friday online group. We will continue to keep you updated.
Self-management and recovery training (SMART) is a self-help group that can assist you to make the changes you want. SMART groups are facilitated by peers who have experience of both mental health and alcohol or other drug concerns.
SMART Recovery is based on four basic principles:
- building and maintaining motivation
- coping with urges and cravings
- self managing of thoughts, feelings and behaviours
- living a balanced lifestyle
SMART Recovery meetings:
- focus on the present and future
- focus on planning and setting goals for the next seven days
- are about learning to plan your recovery by making the changes you want
No bookings are necessary, just come along. For the online group, click on the link and you will be redirected to the Smart Recovery website. Just scroll down to find the Palmerston listing for that time.
