"Helping Others Help Themselves: Recovery For Life"

    "Recovery for Life" is a program that is designed to offer people with mental illnesses and emotional problems the choice of recovery. Recovery can be a life-long journey for many. SC SHARE seeks to enhance this journey by offering the Recovery for Life Program where participants can learn necessary recovery skills in small group settings. The workbooks provided in our store are developed to be the guide for these groups. Recovery, however, goes beyond what can be written in a book. The human connections within the groups will serve to provide the hope, energy and support we need to reach out highest potential.
     We also want to identify participants who can become peer educators for the "Recovery for Life Program". These peer educators can then take this program back into thier communitites to share the message of recovery with others.

About The Program Materials

Recovery for Life
Recovery for Life I is a workshop for people who are ready to move beyond the effects of their mental illnesses and emotional challenges.  This is a recovery 101 training where participants use a recovery workbook to create personal plans in a supportive environment.

Recovery for Life II
Recovery for Life II is a workshop for those who have completed Recovery for Life I and are ready for more information and support especially, around the concept of personal boundaries.  RFL II uses a 10-chapter recovery workbook and each lesson relates to personal boundaries. 

Recovery Journal
The Recovery Journal is another tool that SC SHARE offers to help people make progress in their lives.  The Recovery Journal was written to be used as a topic guide for people who were meeting in continuing support groups.  The participants in Recovery for Life groups wanted to continue meeting after finishing that ten-week course. SC SHARE developed the Journal to provide them with a focus for bi-weekly meetings.  There are 26 topics in the Journal, making it a resource for one year’s worth of meeting topics.
      The Recovery Journal can also be used as a personal guided journal.  It offers a brief writing about a recovery topic and then asks a question to help you consider your progress in that particular area of life.  Whether you would like to use it to add substance to a support group or as a personal recovery tool, consider giving it a try.
