I provide one to one in person support sessions to help individuals with their recovery goals and choices.

This is established and focused on working on goals created during an individuals IRP or individual recovery plan.

Examples include researching and finding appropriate resources to help their personal needs in the the process of their recovery. Does an individual need help or support with a crisis plan or finding suitable housing accomodations? Is the individual in need of support advocating with medical or mental health providers as well as making healthier and informed choices?

The need to improve their overall wellness through focusing on mental health and exercise as well as eating and sleeping habits is another avenue of support provided.

Recovery from substance abuse addiction or working on the road to recovery as well as helping individuals with their social abilities communicating with others and having healthier relations are also areas of focus.
