Recovery in Action
Recovery in Action (RIA) is our CBT-p-informed group program for individuals. This 5-week program aims to build skills, and provide individuals with the supports they need to navigate and personalize their recovery. Please check back later for future sessions.
Depending on where someone is in their journey, our group-based recovery program uses CBT-p to focus on everything from grief and loss around aspirations and relationships, the importance of medication adherence and community supports, revisiting goal-setting and understanding relapse prevention and negative symptoms, like anxiety, depression and lack of motivation.
Reach out to one of our counsellors at 1-855-449-9949 or email Mindy Lee.
NOTE: Due to COVID-19, in-person Recovery in Action groups will be held virtually. Intake appointments are ongoing, and modified sessions can be delivered over the phone.
