Description

Soul Recovery (SR) is a program that offers individuals a clear and comprehensive roadmap to their true and authentic selves – by bridging the gap between the 12 Steps of Recovery and other transformational practices, including some of the latest developments in brain science, such as the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT).

The Compassionate Accountability training is an extension of SR that tactfully addresses the underlying root causes of unconscious racial bias and emotionally paves the way for cultural competence in recovery spaces. Compassionate Accountability works with NAATP’s Stages of Change Model for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) – Best Practices in Addiction Treatment.

Staff will fall into two separate groups that will be attending the training times listed below (Groups 1 & 2)

Target Audience

  • Counselor
  • Marriage & Family Therapist
