Recovering Together Café Team Training August 30, 31, & September 1

August 30, 31, & September 1

10:00 am to 5:00 pm EST

9:00 am - 4:00 pm CST

7:00 am - 2:00 pm PST

For anyone on a Recovery Journey, and for the loved ones, families, allies and communities dedicated to providing support, chances of healing through the recovery process significantly increase with the help of social supports. We recover together through conversations that meet people where they are, recognize our fundamental connectedness and honor the importance of peer support in sustaining positive personal transformation.

That is the basis of the Recovering Together Cafés. Co-created with our partner agencies of the Greater Tilton Family Resource Center in New Hampshire and NET (NorthEast Treatment Centers) in Philadelphia—and with input from more than 60 individuals who have both lived and professional experience in the addiction recovery field—these workshops combine these agencies’ expertise with Be Strong Families’ foundational approach to transformative conversations with Parent Cafés.

Be Strong Families has trained and certified more than 2,500 people to host Parent Cafés in the past six years. This new training includes a first day that grounds participants in the basics of recovery agreed upon by our partner agencies to be the philosophy undergirding Recovering Together Cafés. Over the following two days, the workshop embeds the theory and philosophy behind the Recovering Together Cafés as an essential element of conversations about recovery and promotes engagement through the use of Café materials, activities, and practice opportunities that emphasize deep self-reflection and peer-to-peer learning.

Included in the cost of the Recovering Together Café Team Training is an additional half day (4 hours) of technical assistance (TA) and online support for the first Café a team hosts—ensuring a team’s first Café is a success! This technical assistance includes support for planning, online attendance by the TA provider at the first Café at each site, and assistance with Café set-up, implementation, and debrief.

Cost: $3325 for a team of 4 (minimum). $50 per additional participant with a maximum of 6 people per team.

Participants will be notified by email through their department/organization registration contact, or through Be Strong Families. Use of internet applications such as Zoom and Adobe Acrobat or current PDF document viewer required and installed prior to training. Participants require to provide address prior to first day of training.

Prior to training, participants will receive a manual and three Recovering Together Café In A Box cards to use during various activities. Registration contact must provide attendee names, email, and ship-to addresses.

Teams can add an additional two (2) participants for $50 per person (max 6 per team). If you wish to purchase the maximum amount, please contact [email protected].
